This useful web page from DirectGov.co.uk shows you how to calculate annual entitlement to holiday pay.

How much holiday you get is normally set out in your contract of employment. The legal minimum holiday entitlement you are entitled to is 5.6 weeks, but this can mean different amounts depending on your working hours or working pattern.

 

Basic calculation

For a basic calculation of your leave allowance multiply the number of days you work a week by 5.6. For example, if you work a five day week you would be entitled to 28 day' annual leave a year:

5 days x 5.6 weeks = 28 days

For more complex holiday entitlement calculations you can use the employee holiday calculator on businesslink.gov.uk.
