About Leaves Available Calculator

Available leave is the annual entitlement plus any carry-over, minus leave already taken; monthly accrual is the entitlement spread over twelve months. Carry-over is easy to forget and often expires, so counting it into the balance is what stops days being quietly lost at year end.

Formulas

Balance

available = entitlement + carried over - taken

Accrual

monthly accrual = annual entitlement / 12

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 3 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax or fees or charges into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
