How we calculate it
The days you have left count in a 6-day week. In a 5-day week, the tool multiplies them by 6/5.
The pay is the days times your salary divided by 25, or times your daily pay.
If you did not get the holiday allowance, an equal amount is added, up to half a month’s salary or 13 days’ pay.
The tool takes off the tax at the average rate of your salary, with no e-EFKA contributions.
We checked the rules on 19 October 2026. The result is an estimate. It does not replace your payroll or your accountant.

Frequently asked questions
When is my untaken leave paid?
When the job ends, in any way: dismissal, resignation, or the end of your contract. Your employer pays it with your final settlement.
How does a 5-day week count?
Pay for leave counts in a 6-day week. So 10 days in a 5-day week become 12. On a salary of €1,000, they pay €480.00.
Do I also get the holiday allowance?
Yes, if you have not already had it for these days. The allowance equals the pay for the days, up to half a month’s salary.
Does pay for untaken leave carry contributions?
Our sources say it carries no e-EFKA contributions. It carries tax, like your salary. We found no e-EFKA circular that says so in plain words.
