With annual leave the real question is how many days are left
Years of service set the days accrued, and days taken set the balance. Enter a wage too and you see what the remaining balance is worth on exit.
Three bands • Age rule included • Monetary value of the balance
Leave position
Service is entered in whole years; leftover months do not change the leave days — only completed years set the band.
Only to see the monetary value of the remaining balance; it does not affect the day count.

Three ranges, two jumps
Leave does not grow every year; it rises when service completes its fifth and fifteenth year. In the years between, the day count stays the same.
| Length of service | Statutory minimum | Under 18 / over 50 | Jump |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 – 5 years | 14 days | 20 days | rises in year 5 |
| 5 – 15 years | 20 days | 20 days | rises in year 15 |
| 15 years and over | 26 days | 26 days | Top band |
Finding the day count is half the calculation
How the balance is used, split and carried over is also set by law. Most errors in a leave register come from these rules.
If split, one part cannot be under 10 days
Leave can be split by agreement between the parties, but one of the parts must be at least ten days. The remaining days are distributed freely.
Weekly rest and public holidays do not count
Weekly rest days, national holidays and public holidays falling within the leave are not deducted from it; the period is extended by those days.
Up to four extra days for long journeys
An employee spending their leave elsewhere is given up to four days of unpaid travel leave for the journey, on request and with documentation.
Sick leave does not come off the balance
A medical certificate is a separate right. If an employee falls ill during annual leave, those days do not count as leave and go back onto the balance.
The balance turns into money only on exit
Unused leave cannot be converted to pay while the employment contract continues. It is paid over the final wage only when the contract ends.
Carried-over leave does not expire
Unused days carry to following years. The limitation period runs not for the right to leave itself but for the leave pay receivable that arises on exit.
The calculation in four steps
Each line in the panel is the output of one of these steps.
Check the threshold
For an employee who has not completed a year, the right to paid annual leave has not yet arisen; the calculation starts here.
Read the band
Years of service fall into one of three ranges, and that range’s minimum day count gives the leave accrued.
Apply the age rule
For employees under eighteen and over fifty the result cannot fall below twenty days; it is raised if needed.
Work out the balance
Days taken during the year are deducted from the days accrued. The remainder, multiplied by the wage, gives its monetary value.

The calculations alongside the leave balance
When the balance turns into money on exit, it is calculated together with the termination items; overtime is read from the same timesheet.
The calculator produces a gross amount under Articles 53–60 of Labour Law No. 4857; it does not convert to net, because tax and deductions vary with each person’s cumulative annual base. It is for information only and does not replace a payroll output.
Stop keeping the leave register by hand
When accrual, carry-over, splitting and approvals all run automatically, the balance stays current — and there is nothing left to calculate on exit.
