Taiwan Annual Leave Calculator (特休): Days by Seniority
See how many days of paid annual leave (特休) you get in Taiwan: 3 days after 6 months, 7 after a year, up to 30, and the pay for unused days.
Unused annual leave must be paid at the end of the leave year or of the contract, unless both sides agree to carry it over to the next year. Employers may also count leave by calendar year in proportion.
What it does
Article 38 of Taiwan's Labor Standards Act gives paid annual leave (特休) by seniority with the same employer: 3 days after 6 months, 7 days after one year, 10 days after two, 14 days a year from the third year, 15 days a year from the fifth, and from ten years one more day for each year, up to 30 days. Each day is 8 hours, and days not taken are paid at the daily wage, the monthly salary divided by 30.
How to use it
- Type your years and months with the employer.
- Type your monthly salary and the days already taken.
- Read the days of leave, the days left and their 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.
