Annual leave calculator for Cyprus

The Annual Paid Leave Law gives every employee four working weeks of leave a year. If you worked less, your leave is reduced in proportion.

Enter how many days you work a week and how many weeks you worked in the leave year.

How it's calculated

With 48 weeks weeks of work or more, leave is 20 days on a five-day week and 24 days on a six-day week.
With fewer weeks, leave is reduced in proportion: full leave × weeks worked / 48 weeks.
The value of the leave is a guide: monthly pay becomes a daily rate (salary × 12 / 52 / days per week) times the days.

An example

On a five-day week with 24 weeks worked, you're entitled to 10 working days of leave, half the full amount.

Frequently asked questions

Do public holidays count as leave days?

No. Public holidays, maternity, paternity or parental leave, sick days and the notice period don't count as annual leave.

Who pays my leave?

Either your employer directly, if exempt, or the Central Holiday Fund, to which the employer contributes 8% for 20 days of leave.

Can I get more days?

Yes, if a law, collective agreement, custom or agreement gives you more. The law protects the longer leave while that rule applies.

Key terms

Central Holiday Fund: The fund that pays annual leave when the employer doesn't pay it directly.
