About leave balance calculator
Your leave balance depends on your yearly entitlement, the months worked so far, leaves taken and any carry-over.
Formula
Balance = (entitlement ÷ 12 × months worked) + carry-over − leaves taken. With 18 days a year, 6 months worked, 2 carried over and 4 taken: 9 + 2 − 4 = 7 days.
Policies differ
Some companies credit leave monthly, others upfront, and carry-over caps vary. Use your HR policy for the final number.
Another worked example
With 24 days of leave a year, 8 months worked, 3 days carried over and 9 days taken, the balance is 24 ÷ 12 × 8 + 3 − 9 = 10 days. If your company credits leave at the start of the year instead, the balance would be 24 + 3 − 9 = 18 days.
