10 hrs

Your entitlement

56 hours

How it's worked out

10 hours/week × 5.6 statutory weeks = 56 hours/year

Audit note

Holding entitlement in hours is the fairest method when shift lengths vary — deduct the actual length of each day you take off. Part-timers can't be capped below their weekly-hours × 5.6 figure.

How this calculation works

Paid by the hour on a regular weekly contract? The cleanest way to pro-rate holiday is in hours: your weekly hours × 5.6 statutory weeks. Choose your contracted hours for an instant figure.

Worked example

10 hours/week × 5.6 statutory weeks = 56 hours/year

Frequently asked questions

How much holiday do I get for 10 hours a week?
Ten hours a week earns 56 hours of paid holiday a year on the statutory minimum (10 × 5.6). If your employer offers more than 5.6 weeks, raise the statutory-weeks figure to match.
Is holiday pay based on my average earnings?
Yes. Holiday pay reflects your normal pay, including regular overtime and commission averaged over the previous 52 worked weeks, not just basic hours.
What happens if my hours change?
If your contracted hours change permanently, your future accrual changes with them. Holiday already earned at the old rate isn't clawed back.
