Calculating annual leave in terms of days can be tricky when leave is provided in hours. This annual leave hours to days calculator helps employees convert their total leave hours into an equivalent number of leave days based on their working hours per day.
Formula
The formula for converting annual leave hours to days is:
Equivalent Leave Days (D) = Total Leave Hours (H) / Working Hours Per Day (h)
How to Use
- Enter the total number of annual leave hours you have in the first field.
- Enter the number of working hours you typically have per day in the second field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to find out how many equivalent leave days your hours represent.
Example
Let’s say you have 80 hours of annual leave and your typical working day consists of 8 hours. To find out how many leave days you have, use the formula:
D = 80 / 8
D = 10
This means you have 10 days of leave.
