5-Day Holiday Carryover Cap Calculator
Based on the default pattern below, a typical entitlement is 5 days. Adjust the inputs for your exact figure.
Your entitlement
5 days
How it's worked out
min(8, 5) = 5 days carried over, 3 days forfeited
Audit note
Caps above the statutory 1.6-week (8-day) ceiling are contractual, employer-set policy — not law. A zero-day cap (use-it-or-lose-it) is only lawful if your employer gave you a genuine opportunity and clear encouragement to take the leave before it expired.
Stop tracking this by hand
Carryover only stays accurate if the balance behind it is accurate. Tempry tracks every day of accrued, taken and carried-over leave automatically, so nobody has to work out a carryover cap or a forfeiture deadline by hand again.

How this calculation works
Beyond the protected 4 weeks, whether unused holiday carries over depends on your employer's policy. See what a 5, 8 or 10-day cap means for your unused days — and what a genuine use-it-or-lose-it policy actually requires.
