Mid-Year Leaver Holiday Calculator

Based on the default pattern below, a typical entitlement is 14 days. Adjust the inputs for your exact figure.

6 months

14 days

28 days × (6 active months ÷ 12) = 14 days

Audit note

In the first leave year, employers may round part-days up. Leavers must be paid in lieu of accrued-but-untaken statutory leave; over-taken leave can only be recovered if the contract expressly allows it.

How this calculation works

Joining or leaving part-way through the leave year? Entitlement is pro-rated by the number of months you're actually employed. Enter your active months for the adjusted allowance.

28 days × (6 active months ÷ 12) = 14 days

Frequently asked questions

How much holiday have I accrued when I leave?
Multiply your full annual allowance by the fraction of the leave year you worked. Leave after six months and you've accrued half — 14 days of a 28-day allowance.
Do I get paid for unused holiday?
Yes. On leaving, any statutory holiday you've accrued but not taken must be paid in lieu. Conversely, if you've taken more than you accrued, your employer may recover the excess if your contract allows.
How is the payout amount worked out?
Accrued days owed are multiplied by a day's pay. The calculator gives the accrued entitlement; subtract the leave you've already taken to find the days that should be paid out.
