FAQs about Annual Leave
How do I calculate my annual leave entitlement?
Multiply your weekly hours by your leave entitlement in weeks (e.g., 5.6 in the UK), then adjust for part-time work. A 20-hour week yields 112 hours (20 x 5.6) annually. Use a calculator for precision.

It’s (weekly hours x leave weeks) ÷ 52, accrued over time. A 40-hour worker with 5.6 weeks earns 5.38 hours weekly. Calculators automate this easily.
How many annual leave days am I entitled to by law?
In the UK, it’s 5.6 weeks (28 days for full-time); the US has none mandated, Australia gives 4 weeks. Check local laws or use a calculator. It varies globally.
Can an annual leave calculator include bank holidays?

How do I use an annual leave calculator for part-time workers?
