- A holiday calculator is a free online tool that functions as an annual leave calculator and holiday allowance calculator. Our holiday entitled calculator helps employees, HR teams, and businesses calculate annual leave entitlements, remaining balances, and accrual timing for different employment systems worldwide.
- Yes, our holiday calculator is completely free to use. You can perform unlimited annual leave calculations and holiday allowance calculations without any charges. Perfect for employees checking their entitlements, HR teams managing leave, and businesses calculating holiday provisions.
- The holiday leave calculator uses your annual entitlement, accrual method, and employment dates to calculate leave. For upfront allocation: full entitlement at leave year start (prorated for mid-year starters). For incremental accrual: leave earned monthly or quarterly based on time worked. Formula: Total Available = Leave Earned + Carried Over - Leave Taken.
- Upfront allocation gives you full annual entitlement at the start of your leave year (common in UK, Australia). Incremental accrual means you earn leave gradually throughout the year (common in US, many Asian countries). Our annual leave calculator handles both methods - upfront uses leave year dates, incremental uses monthly/quarterly allocation.
- Yes, our holiday calculator is designed to be universal. You input your country's specific annual leave entitlement and accrual method. The holiday allowance calculator adapts to different systems - UK's upfront 28 days, US incremental accrual, Germany's hours-based systems, or India's varying state requirements.
- The holiday entitled calculator automatically prorates leave for mid-year starters. For upfront allocation: prorates based on time remaining in leave year. For incremental accrual: calculates leave earned from employment start date. The annual leave calculator shows whether proration has been applied to your entitlement.
- Yes, but input the actual prorated entitlement rather than full-time equivalent. For example, if a part-time employee gets 15 days instead of 30, enter 15 days. The holiday calculator focuses on accrual timing and leave tracking rather than part-time calculations, as these vary significantly by country and company policy.
