Frequently asked questions
What does this annual leave calculator do?
It shows your annual leave entitlement in days and hours based on your sector's terms (e.g. NHS AfC, Civil Service, NJC). You enter your contracted hours and years of service; we apply the sector rules and pro-rate for part-time. Bank holidays are included where applicable.
Is my entitlement exactly as shown?
Figures are based on national or sector terms. Your employer may have local variations or different qualifying dates. Always check your contract and HR for exact entitlement.
How is part-time leave calculated?
We pro-rate by your contracted weekly hours vs the full-time hours for your sector (e.g. 37.5 for NHS AfC). So if you work 50% of full-time hours, you get 50% of the full-time leave days and hours.
What about teachers?
Teachers have directed time and take leave in school holidays rather than a set number of "annual leave" days. The calculator may show a message for teachers or support staff (who often follow NJC).
Do bank holidays count as leave?
It depends on your sector. Many public sector terms include bank holidays within the leave entitlement (e.g. England & Wales often 8); others add them on top. We show total time off where the dataset specifies it.
What if I've worked less than a full year?
We pro-rate by months of service where your sector rules allow. New starters may get a proportion of the annual entitlement; check your employer's qualifying period and how they calculate part-year leave.
As a Team Manager, where do the figures come from?
We use the leave rules for your sector (e.g. AfC, NJC, Civil Service). Your employer may have local agreements that improve on the minimum. Use this as a guide and confirm with your contract or HR.
Are the figures official?
No. They are based on published sector terms. Local agreements and qualifying dates vary. Always check your employer for definitive entitlement.
Do you store my information?
No. All inputs and results stay in your browser. We do not collect personal data.
Can I use this for term-time or part-year contracts?
The calculator uses full-time equivalent hours and sector leave days. Term-time or part-year staff may have different rules; your employer will confirm how leave is calculated for your contract.
