How this is calculated

UK workers are entitled to a statutory minimum of 5.6 weeks of paid leave per year, inclusive of bank holidays, under regulation 13 of the Working Time Regulations 1998.

  • Fixed hours / regular pay: annual entitlement = 5.6 × your average weekly pay.
  • Irregular hours or part-year: from 1 April 2024 employers may use the rolled-up holiday pay method, where each hour worked is paid an additional 12.07%. (5.6 ÷ (52 - 5.6) = 0.1207.)

Bank holiday entitlement: bank holidays count as part of the 5.6 weeks unless your contract specifies otherwise.
