Singapore Annual Leave Calculator: Entitlement, Pro-Rated and Encashment
Calculate your annual leave in Singapore under the Employment Act: 7 to 14 days by year of service, pro-rated leave and the pay for unused days.
Contracts often give more days than the law. On resignation or termination the employer pays the unused days, except on dismissal for misconduct. Approved unpaid leave does not count as service.
What it does
Singapore's Employment Act gives 7 days of paid annual leave in the first year of service, one more day each year and 14 days from the eighth year. Leave is due after 3 months; in an incomplete year it is pro-rated by completed months, with fractions of half a day or more rounded up. Unused days are paid at the gross rate of pay: 12 × monthly gross salary ÷ (52 × working days per week).
How to use it
- Type your monthly gross salary and your year of service.
- Type the completed months this year and the days already taken.
- Read the days left and what they are worth.
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 much are 5 unused days on S$3,000 a month?
With a 5-day week a day is 12 × 3,000 ÷ 260 = S$138.46, so 5 days are S$692.30. In the third year the entitlement is 9 days; after 4 taken, 5 are left.
How is leave pro-rated?
Completed months ÷ 12 × entitlement: 4 months with 10 days a year give 3.33, rounded down to 3 days.
How many days after 8 years?
14 days a year, the legal maximum; many contracts give more.
