Parental Bereavement Leave Deadline Calculator

Based on the default pattern below, a typical date is 28 September 2027. Adjust the inputs for your exact figure.

Key date

28 September 2027

How it's worked out

1 September 2026, 392 days after = 28 September 2027

Audit note

This is a leave-notice or leave-window deadline only, never a pay calculation. Dates are computed to the exact day from the anchor date you enter — always double-check against your own contract and current gov.uk guidance before relying on it for a legal deadline.

Stop tracking this by hand

Statutory leave dates and balances are easy to miscalculate by hand. Tempry tracks every type of leave against the right statutory rules automatically, so notice deadlines and remaining balances are never worked out on a calendar again.

Frequently asked questions

By when must I take parental bereavement leave?
Within 56 weeks of your child's death — the calculator works out the exact final date from the date of death.
Do I need to give notice before taking this leave?
Yes, but it's shorter than other statutory leave: notice before your normal start time for the first 8 weeks after the death, and at least 1 week's notice for weeks 9 to 56.
Can I take the 2 weeks at different points within that window?
Yes — the 2 weeks don't need to be consecutive and can be taken at any point up to the 56-week deadline.
