Dates, weekly pay, working pattern — whatever the specific formula actually needs. Nothing is stored, and no account or sign-up is required.
See the working, not just the number
Every result shows the exact steps and rate used, so you can check it against your own payslip or HR’s figures line by line.

United Kingdom calculator FAQs
Quick answers about eligibility, scope and how often these figures change.
Do these calculators apply in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales?
Statutory minimums such as SSP, SMP and redundancy pay apply UK-wide. Some areas — including bank holidays and parts of the employment tribunal system — differ, particularly in Northern Ireland, which has its own employment law framework.
What if my contract offers more than the statutory minimum?
Your contractual entitlement applies where it is more generous. These calculators show the statutory floor only — always check an employment contract or staff handbook as well.
Does part-time or zero-hours work change my entitlement?
Yes. Statutory leave and pay are generally pro-rated by hours or averaged over a reference period rather than removed. Each calculator notes where a different method applies to irregular-hours workers.
Are agency workers and zero-hours workers covered?
Most are “workers” under UK law and qualify for statutory annual leave and SSP. Family-related pay (maternity, paternity, adoption) has its own eligibility tests, which can differ for casual and agency staff.
How often do these rates change?
Most UK statutory rates update every April. The figures shown here reflect the 2026/27 tax year, including the SSP day-one reform and the higher family-pay flat rate that took effect on 6 April 2026.
Which calculator should I start with if I’m not sure?
If your question is about leave rather than pay, start with the Holiday Entitlement Calculator to confirm your statutory minimum, then use the Annual Leave or Holiday Pay calculators for the specific figure you need next.
