How It Works
Understand the calculation.
Earned leave is generally credited according to an organization's leave policy. The applicable rate, eligible days, rounding rules, carry-forward limits, and encashment conditions can differ.
Accrual formula
Earned leave accrued = Eligible days worked ÷ Days worked required for one leave day
Balance formula
Closing balance = Opening balance + Accrued leave + Adjustments − Leave taken
Encashment estimate
Gross encashment = Eligible encashment days × Daily salary rate
02
Set your leave-credit rule
Enter the number of eligible days required to earn one leave day. Select the rounding method and apply a cap only if your policy specifies one.
03
Update your balance
Add your opening balance, subtract leave already taken, and enter any credits or deductions. The calculator estimates your closing balance.
04
Estimate the encashment amount
Enter the relevant salary and the divisor used by your employer. If you know the number of days eligible for encashment, enter it separately.
Important: Check your employer's leave policy
Earned leave entitlement is not identical for every employee or organization. Eligibility, accrual rate, rounding, maximum accumulation, carry-forward, salary components, and encashment conditions depend on the applicable employment terms and law. Do not treat the example defaults in this calculator as a universal Indian statutory rule. Confirm your actual entitlement with HR or your applicable policy documents before making payroll, resignation, or financial decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Earned leave, explained.
Answers to common questions about leave accrual, balance calculations, and estimated encashment.
What is earned leave?
Earned leave is paid time off accrued by an employee according to applicable employment rules or company policy. The way it accrues and the number of days available can vary by employer, employee category, and applicable law.
How is earned leave calculated?
A common calculation method divides eligible days by the number of days required to earn one leave day. The result is then adjusted according to applicable rounding rules and any relevant cap. Use the rule specified by your employer.
What is the difference between accrued leave and closing balance?
Accrued leave is the leave earned during the selected period. Closing balance includes your opening balance, newly accrued leave, and adjustments, minus leave taken during that period.
Can I use this calculator for Indian employment?
You can use it to estimate figures using the leave-credit rule and salary divisor applicable to your employment. However, entitlement and encashment rules can vary according to the applicable law, establishment, employment terms, and company policy. Confirm the applicable rules with HR or a qualified professional.
How is leave encashment estimated?
This calculator multiplies the number of eligible encashment days by the daily salary rate derived from your monthly salary and selected divisor. The result is a gross estimate and may differ from the amount payable under your employer's policy.
Does this calculator determine my legal entitlement?
No. It is a general calculation tool, not a legal determination of your entitlement. Refer to your employment documents, HR policy, applicable legislation, and official guidance for your specific circumstances.
Are my salary and leave details uploaded?
The calculations on this page are performed locally in your browser. This page's calculator code does not send your entered salary or leave details to a server. Avoid using browser extensions or third-party modifications that you do not trust.
