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.

How this calculation works
