How much statutory holiday do UK workers get?+
Most workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks of paid holiday a year. For someone working five days a week that is 28 days, which is the maximum under the statutory rules (bank holidays can be included). Part-time workers get the same 5.6 weeks, pro-rata to the days they work.
What is the 12.07% method?+
For workers with irregular hours or who work part of the year, holiday can be accrued as 12.07% of the hours worked in each pay period. 12.07% is 5.6 weeks divided by the 46.4 weeks left after taking the holiday itself.
How is part-year entitlement worked out?+
For regular workers who are only employed for part of the year, the yearly entitlement is pro-rated by the number of months worked out of 12.
Is this legal advice?+
No. This calculator gives guidance only and your contract may give you more than the statutory minimum. Check the official GOV.UK holiday entitlement guidance or take professional advice for your situation.
