Australian leave entitlements (NES)
  • Full-time — 20 days (4 weeks / 152 hours) per year
  • Shift workers — 25 days (5 weeks) per year
  • Part-time — pro-rata based on contracted hours
  • Casual — no paid annual leave entitlement
  • Leave rolls over indefinitely if unused
  • Public holidays inside leave are not deducted
This calculator does not account for public holidays or leave loading (17.5%). Adjust inputs manually for those scenarios.
!
Common mistakes to avoid
  • Entering calendar days as your entitlement instead of working days
  • Forgetting that public holidays may not reduce your balance
  • Using part-time hours without adjusting entitlement to pro-rata
  • Not accounting for leave loading (17.5%) when estimating pay during leave
