Ireland Annual Leave Calculator: Hours, Days and Holiday Pay
Calculate your annual leave in Ireland: 8% of hours worked up to 4 working weeks, in hours and days, and the holiday pay, plus the 10 public holidays.
Your employer uses whichever method gives you more: 4 working weeks if you worked 1,365 hours, 1/3 of a working week for each month with 117 hours, or 8% of hours worked. Public holidays are separate: 10 a year.
What it does
Under Ireland's Organisation of Working Time Act 1997, employees earn paid annual leave as they work: the maximum is 4 working weeks a year, reached with 1,365 hours. Part-time workers usually get 8% of the hours they work. Holiday pay is your normal weekly pay, paid in advance, and unused leave is paid when you leave the job.
How to use it
- Type the hours worked in the leave year (April to March or January to December).
- Type the hours in your normal week and day, and your hourly pay.
- Read your leave in hours, days and weeks and the holiday pay.
The arithmetic runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere and nothing is stored, so you can use these with real numbers.
