CalculateFrequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate holiday entitlement in the UK?
The statutory minimum entitlement is 5.6 weeks per year (28 days for a 5-day worker). Multiply your weekly working days by 5.6 to get your entitlement in days. For example, a 3-day-per-week worker gets 3 × 5.6 = 16.8 days. NHS workers use Agenda for Change rules: 27 days on appointment, rising to 29 after 5 years and 33 after 10 years of NHS service.
Are bank holidays included in my 28 days?
It depends on your contract. Under Model A (most common), your employer adds bank holidays on top of your leave entitlement — so you get 20 statutory days + 8 bank holidays = 28 days total. Under Model B, bank holidays are included within your total — you still get 28 days, but 8 of them must be taken on bank holidays. NHS workers always use Model A.
How is pro-rata holiday calculated in the UK?
Pro-rata entitlement is calculated using the calendar-day method: divide the number of days employed in the leave year by the total days in the leave year, then multiply by the full annual entitlement. Always round up to the nearest half day — never round down. For example, if you join halfway through the year and your full entitlement is 28 days, your pro-rata entitlement is 14 days.
