How to use the holiday entitlement calculator.
Calculate and review
Use the main action when needed. Full-year days = working days per week × leave weeks. Pro-rated days apply the proportion of the leave year worked.
Try a worked example
A five-day week with the UK statutory 5.6 weeks gives 28 days for a full year, where the contract includes bank holidays in that allowance.
Check the assumptions
Contracts, sector rules, bank-holiday treatment and accrual methods vary; confirm the exact policy or payroll position before relying on the figure.
A clearer answer
How many days of holiday entitlement do I have?
Enter working days per week and annual leave weeks, with an optional part-year start. The calculator shows full or pro-rated days and weeks.
See the useful decision, not only one number.
It makes the 5.6-week statutory reference visible and keeps contract-specific treatment, bank-holiday policy and payroll rounding in your hands.
Worked example: a five-day week
5 days × 5.6 weeks = 28 days for a full year. Six months worked pro-rates that to 14 days.
Method: Days = working days per week × leave weeks. Pro-rated days = full-year days × months worked ÷ 12.
Common mistakes to avoid.
- Assuming 28 days always includes bank holidays
- Forgetting contractual leave above the statutory minimum
- Rounding pro-rata days without checking the employer policy
- Applying one UK rule to every contract
Use the result with the right assumptions.
The UK statutory minimum is 5.6 weeks for a full-year worker, usually including bank holidays where the contract says so. Part-time and part-year workers receive a pro-rated amount; sector and contract rules can differ.

How does this holiday entitlement calculator work?
Full-year days = working days per week × leave weeks. Pro-rated days apply the proportion of the leave year worked.
What should I check before using the result?
Contracts, sector rules, bank-holiday treatment and accrual methods vary; confirm the exact policy or payroll position before relying on the figure.
Does the 5.6-week statutory entitlement include bank holidays?
It can, depending on the contract. Many UK employers include bank holidays within the 5.6-week allowance, but the policy can treat them separately.
How is part-time holiday calculated?
A common method multiplies working days per week by 5.6 (or the contractual weeks). This calculator uses that formula and applies the proportion of the leave year worked when you choose the part-year option.
