Annual leave calculator Kenya
Every employee earns paid annual leave. Enter how long you have worked this leave year and the days already taken.
Add your monthly pay to see what the days still due are worth, for example when you leave the job.
How it's calculated
- After 12 consecutive months of service you get at least 21 days of leave with full pay, counted in working days.
- If your job ends after two or more completed months of the leave year, you get 1.75 days for each completed month.
- Days still due are the days earned less the days you took.
An example
After a full year with 5 days taken, 16 days are still due. On KSh 52,000 a month divided by 26, they are worth KSh 32,000.
Frequently asked questions
