Annual Leave Calculator

Enter the number of days you work each week (half days are fine) and tick whether your entitlement includes the eight bank holidays. The statutory minimum and the days left to book yourself update instantly.

Worked example: a five-day week gives 5 × 5.6 = 28 days. If that includes bank holidays, you have 20 days left to book yourself; if it’s “plus bank holidays”, all 28 are yours to choose.

Statutory annual leave is 5.6 times your working week. Work five days a week and you get 28 days (5 × 5.6). Work three days a week and you get 16.8 days (3 × 5.6) — the same 5.6 weeks, scaled to your pattern.

There’s a cap: even if you work six or seven days a week, statutory entitlement is limited to 28 days. Your employer can always offer more than the statutory minimum — check your contract.

Employers can count the eight England & Wales bank holidays towards your 28 days — and many do. If your contract says “28 days including bank holidays”, you typically have 20 days left to book yourself. If it says “28 days plus bank holidays”, all 28 are yours to choose.

Part-time workers can’t be treated less favourably: if bank holidays fall on days you don’t work, your employer should still give you the pro-rata equivalent.
