Leave Accrual Calculator

How to use this tool

  1. Enter the annual leave entitlement, months worked and leave already used.
  2. Press Generate to see accrued leave and the remaining balance.
  3. Use Load sample for 20 days a year, 6 months worked and 2 days used.

Worked example

With an annual entitlement of 20 days, 6 months worked accrues 20 x 6 / 12 = 10.00 days, and after 2 days used the balance is 8.00 days.

What this tool does not do / Limits

This assumes leave accrues evenly through the year. Real policies may accrue monthly, round differently, cap carry-over or exclude probation periods, so check your employer's policy.

Frequently asked questions

Does leave accrue evenly?

This tool assumes it does, which is common but not universal; some employers credit the full year upfront.

What if I used more than I accrued?

The balance goes negative, which usually means leave taken in advance under your employer's rules.
