About this holiday entitlement calculator
Almost every worker in the UK is entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid holiday a year. For a fixed pattern that is 5.6 × days per week: 28 days for a five-day week, 16.8 days for three days, never more than 28 days. Joining or leaving part-way through the leave year pro-rates it: three days a week for six months gives 8.4 days. Since April 2024, irregular-hours and part-year workers accrue 12.07% of the hours they work in each pay period: 160 hours earns 19.31 hours of holiday.
