About the UK Holiday Pay Calculator
Use this holiday pay calculator to estimate how much holiday pay you should receive in the UK. It covers fixed salary or hourly workers, variable and zero-hours workers, and a simple 12.07% accrual estimate for irregular-hours or part-year work.
Fixed-pay workers usually receive their normal pay while on holiday. Variable-pay workers may need an average of previous paid weeks. Eligible irregular-hours and part-year workers may accrue holiday at 12.07% of hours worked.
Most workers are entitled to at least 5.6 weeks of statutory paid leave each year. Your employment contract may give more than the statutory minimum.
This tool gives a quick estimate only. It does not replace payroll advice, and it does not model every leave-year, sickness or bank holiday rule. For official guidance, see GOV.UK holiday entitlement and ACAS holiday entitlement guidance.
Designed for UK employees who want a fast answer to “how much holiday pay will I get?” for the 2026/27 tax year context.
