Home leave calculator Nepal 2026

Home leave is the paid annual leave of a Nepali worker. Enter the days you have worked and the days you have already taken. You earn one day for every 20 days days worked, so the calculator shows how many you have left.

Add your basic pay to see what the unused days are worth in cash.

How it's calculated

Section 43 of the Labour Act, 2074 gives one day of paid home leave for every 20 days days worked. The calculator divides your days worked by that number.
Section 49 lets you accumulate home leave up to 90 days days. Anything above that limit is paid to you in cash at the end of each year at your basic pay rate.
When you leave a job, the unused home leave is paid out at your last basic pay. The calculator values a day as your monthly basic pay divided by the paid days in a month, which you can set to match your contract.

An example

After 300 days of work you have earned 15 days. If you took 5, you have 10 left. On basic pay of NPR 30,000 over 30 days, each day is NPR 1,000, so the balance is worth NPR 10,000.
