Example 1
26 days and 6 months -> 13 days accrued.
Leave accrued for part of a year calculator
Type the annual entitlement in days and how many months have already passed. 26 days and half a year give 13 accrued days. A proportional split, not a statute list and not a hard 26 from a labour code.
Hours at a fraction: employment fraction hours. Pay at a fraction: amount at part-time. Rate from monthly pay: hourly rate.

How it works
This calculator splits annual leave across the months that have already passed. It multiplies entitlement by months, divides by 12, and rounds to the nearest whole number. 26 days and 6 months is 13. 20 days and 3 months is 5. 26 days and 1 month is about 2.17, so after rounding you see 2. A full year, 26 and 12, leaves 26.
Entitlement must be at least 1 day. Half a day a year will not accrue, even at 12 months. Months may be zero: 20 days and 0 months give 0. Negative months will not run. The formula does not cap entitlement at 26. If you type 30 and 12, you get 30, as long as the field accepts the number.
Carryover and days already used are optional. Empty means zero. When either is greater than zero, the result is remaining: accrued plus carryover minus used, with a floor at zero. 26 days, 6 months, 4 days from last year, and 5 already taken is 13 accrued and 12 remaining. If used eats the whole pile, remaining falls to 0, not below.
Leave from the entitlement and months you type. You type 20 or 26 yourself, as it stands in the contract or the handbook. The calculator does not check tenure, does not split leftover and current leave beyond those two fields, and does not price unused days as cash.
Employment-fraction hours next door counts monthly hours from a fraction, not leave days. Amount at part-time multiplies pay. Here you stay with days. 6.5 months at entitlement 26 is about 14.08, so after rounding 14. A comma and a period are the same.
The result is in days, not in money. The currency symbol in the header does not change 13. An example button inserts entitlement and months together. Entitlement alone or months alone is not enough.
How to use
- In entitlement, type leave days for a full year, for example 26 or 20. That is your contract figure, not an automatic statutory cap.
- In months, type how many months of the year have already passed. 6 at entitlement 26 gives 13 days. 1 month at 26 gives 2, because 2.17 rounds to 2.
- Click Calculate and read accrued days. Zero months at entitlement 20 gives zero. Entitlement below 1 will not run.
- Leave carryover and used empty if you only want accrual. 4 days from last year and 5 already taken at 13 accrued leave 12.
- Remaining appears when carryover or used is greater than zero. It will not go below zero, even when used is larger than the pile.
Formula
accrued = round(entitlement × months / 12)
remaining = max(0, accrued + carryover − used)
Entitlement ≥ 1. Months ≥ 0. Empty carryover and used = 0.
Entitlement, months, and leave days
Accrued = round(entitlement × months / 12). 26 days and 6 months give 13. 20 days and 3 months give 5.
- entitlement
- Annual leave in days. 26 at 6 months is 13. 30 and 12 yield 30 if the number is accepted. Minimum 1.
- months
- Months worked in the year. 6 at 26 is 13. 6.5 is about 14.08, rounding to 14.
- days
- The result in days, not money. 13 plus carryover 4 minus 5 is 12 remaining.
Real-life examples
Example 2
20 days and 12 months -> 20 days, the full entitlement.
Example 3
20 days and 3 months -> 5 days after rounding.
Example 4
26 days and 1 month -> 2 days, because 2.17 rounds down to 2.
Example 5
26 days and 12 months -> 26 days, a full year.
Example 6
24 days and 6 months -> 12 days accrued.
Example 7
26 and 6 plus 4 minus 5 -> 13 accrued, 12 left to use.
Example 8
20 days and 9 months -> 15 days after rounding.
Ways to use this calculator
- You check how many of 26 days you have after six months before you plan a longer trip.
- You add 4 days from last year and 5 already taken, to see the 12 that are still left.
Frequently asked questions
How many days do I get from 26 and 6 months?
13 accrued days. 20 days and 3 months give 5. 24 days and 6 months give 12.
Why do 26 days and 1 month give 2, not 2.17?
We round to the nearest whole number. 26/12 is about 2.17, and 2.17 goes to 2. That is whole-day writing, not a separate floor.
Is 26 days a statutory ceiling?
No. The formula does not cap entitlement at 26. 30 and 12 yield 30 if the number is accepted. You type 20 or 26 yourself.
What if entitlement is 0.5 days?
Accrual will not run. Entitlement must be at least 1. Half a day a year will not pass even at 12 months.
When does the remaining row appear?
When carryover or used is greater than zero. 13 plus 4 minus 5 is 12. Accrued alone without those fields stays one card.
What if used is larger than the pile?
Remaining falls to 0. We do not show negative leave. Accrued still stays on the first card.
How does 6.5 months enter at entitlement 26?
26 × 6.5 / 12 is about 14.08, and rounding gives 14. A comma and a period are the same.
How is this different from employment-fraction hours?
Here you split leave days across a year. There you multiply full-time hours by a fraction. Different numerator, different result.
Does the calculator price unused leave as cash?
No. You get days. There is no pay per day here. Amount at part-time and hourly rate count money, not this leave balance.
Is the result in money?
No. Leave is in days. The currency symbol sits in the header and does not change 13. Money results live on the pay pages.
Knowledge sources
Leave is allowance × months/12 plus carryover minus used. This is not a labor-code ruling.
