China Paid Annual Leave Calculator: Days and Unused Leave Pay
Calculate paid annual leave in China: 5, 10 or 15 days by total years of work, pro-rated for new joiners, and the 300% pay for days not taken.
The 300% includes the normal pay for those days, so the employer owes 200% on top. There is no pay if the employee chose in writing not to take the leave. Long sick leave or personal leave can cancel the year's leave.
What it does
China's Regulations on Paid Annual Leave give 5 days after 1 to 10 years of total work, 10 days from 10 to 20 years and 15 days from 20 years, counting all employers. Someone who joins or leaves during the year gets calendar days ÷ 365 × the annual days, dropping fractions of a day. Days the employer did not let you take are paid at 300% of the daily wage, which is the monthly wage ÷ 21.75.
How to use it
- Type your total years of work and your monthly salary.
- Type the days with this employer this year and the days already taken.
- Read the days left and the pay for them.
The arithmetic runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere and nothing is stored, so you can use these with real numbers.
Frequently asked questions
How many days if I joined on 1 July with 12 years of work?
12 years give 10 days a year; 184 ÷ 365 × 10 = 5.04, so 5 days this year.
How much are 5 unused days on ¥8,700 a month?
The daily wage is 8,700 ÷ 21.75 = ¥400; at 300% the 5 days are ¥6,000, of which ¥4,000 is extra.
Why 21.75 days?
It is the monthly number of paid days: (365 − 104 weekend days) ÷ 12. Public holidays are paid, so it did not change when they rose to 13 days in 2025.
