Annual leave calculator Rwanda

The labour law gives every employee paid annual leave that grows with each month worked. Enter your months and years of service to see your days.

How it's calculated

  1. You earn 1.5 days for each month of work, which is 18 working days for a full year.
  2. Employees aged 16 or 17 earn 2 days a month.
  3. You get one more day a year for every 3 years with the same enterprise.
  4. Paid annual leave can never go above 21 days.

An example

After three years with the same employer, a full year of work gives 18 + 1 = 19 working days of leave.

Frequently asked questions

Can my employer pay me instead of giving leave?

Not while you are employed: the law says annual leave cannot be paid in cash. If the contract ends before you take it, you receive compensation for the days owed.

When does annual leave expire?

The right to ask for it lapses two years after the date you became entitled to it.

Can I take it in two parts?

Yes, if your employer agrees. The employer can also call you back for work reasons, and the remaining days must be taken within six months.

Do public holidays count?

No. Official public holidays are not part of annual leave.

Key terms
