Unused annual leave calculator
Estimate how many leave days you have earned and not taken, and how much leave pay your employer owes you when your contract ends.
How the calculator works
- Entitlement: at least 21 days a year, 30 days after five consecutive years with the same employer (Article 109), or more if your contract says so.
- Days earned = entitlement ÷ 12 × months worked in the current leave year: 1.75 days a month for 21 days, 2.5 days for 30 days.
- Unused days = days earned + days carried over − days taken.
- Leave pay = unused days × monthly wage ÷ 30. The Labor Law counts a month as 30 days.
Examples
| Wage | Entitlement | Months worked | Unused days | Leave pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAR 6,000 | 21 days | 6 | 10.5 | SAR 2,100 |
| SAR 9,000 | 30 days | 12 | 30 | SAR 9,000 |
| SAR 9,000 | 30 days | 7.2 | 18 | SAR 5,400 |

Indicative calculation. Leave cannot be exchanged for cash while you are employed: unused days are paid only when the contract ends.
