How holiday pay is calculated

A day of leave pays a normal working day.

Daily rate
Annual gross divided by 260 working days (52 weeks × 5 days). On £30,000 a day of leave is worth £115.38.
Entitlement
Full-time workers get at least 5.6 weeks, 28 days on a five-day week; employers may include the 8 bank holidays. Part-time entitlement is pro rata.
On leaving
Untaken statutory leave must be paid in lieu. Irregular-hours and part-year workers accrue 12.07 % of hours worked.

Frequently asked questions

How much holiday pay do I get on leaving?

The days accrued up to the leaving date minus the days taken, each paid at your daily rate. Accrual is pro rata: after six months you have earned half the yearly entitlement.

Is holiday pay based on basic pay only?

No. Regular overtime, commission and allowances must be included, calculated on the average of the previous 52 paid weeks.

How many days do part-time workers get?

5.6 times the days worked per week. Three days a week gives 16.8 days; employers may round that up but never down.
