Calculating Remaining Holiday Entitlement

joelk2 · 8 Jul 2021 at 08:18

Hi All,

wondered if someone could help me here as my workings out and the gov.uk workings out seem to be different.

i work 5 days a week
i get 25 days holiday + bank holidays

i accrue 2.08 days holiday a month??? (25/12 = 2.08)
my holiday year runs from jan 1st - dec 31st

im leaving my current job on the 30th July (last working day of July)

so by my calcs i would have accrued 14days holiday

the gov.uk website says i would have accrued 16.2 days (which can include bank holidays) the calculator doesnt seem to taken into account how many holidays you get a year.

i have taken 10 days holiday (and we've had 5 bank holidays) so am i only owed 1 day based on the gov.uk site or am i owed 4 days (14 accrued - 10 taken)?

hopefully all the above makes sense?

depends how they work it out .. bog standard is .. you get 28 days a yr no such thing as b/h anymore unless there in your contract . so thats 2.3 days a month

just ran thru this Outcome - Calculate holiday entitlement - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) .
and got this The statutory holiday entitlement is 9.4 days holiday.
thats from april to end of july .. so your going to owe them money

I’ve worked from Jan - end of July so when I put that into the calc it gives me 16.2 days.

I get 33 holidays a year including The bank holidays.

I believe unless you're contracted to work bank holidays, they're effectively nulled when working out holiday entitlement. So you should it should be based on 14 days accrued - 10 days used.

This is how we work out holiday entitlement at work. Bank holidays are a given, so they're not used as part of your entitlement.

That’s how I’m hoping it’s worked out.

When I ran a payroll function, we calculated accrued holiday including bank holidays. So you'd have accrued 19.25. 5 would have been taken as BH, so 14.25 left.

that seems how I’m working it out. The gov.Uk site is working it out on 28 days rather than the 33 I’m getting.
