Pro-rata annual leave calculator

How it works

The allowance is shared out by the days of the leave year somebody is employed for, then rounded up to the nearest half day, so nobody loses part of a day they earned. Leave either date empty and it counts from the first day of the leave year, or to the last.

It is the rule ToDoing uses for a person who joins part way through the leave year. Somebody starting on 1 April in a calendar year is employed for 275 of its 365 days, so an allowance of 21 days becomes 15.82, and 16 once it is rounded up.

In Kenya

The Employment Act gives at least 21 working days of paid leave for every twelve consecutive months worked. Somebody whose job ends part way through a year, after at least two months, earns at least one and three quarter days for each completed month. Some employers count whole months rather than days, which can come out slightly differently, so the contract has the last word.

The year's public holidays, and the working days in each month, are on the Kenya public holidays page. The working days calculator counts the days between any two dates.
