Annual leave calculator Tanzania

Enter the months you have completed in this leave cycle and the days you already took.

For a full cycle the result is the legal minimum. For part of a cycle it is an estimate in proportion to the months worked.

How it's calculated

Each leave cycle lasts 12 months from the start of the job or the end of the last cycle.
You are entitled to at least 28 days of consecutive paid leave, public holidays inside the period included.
Leave already granted at your request during the cycle can be taken off.

An example

After a full cycle with 10 days taken, 18 days are still due.
