Annual leave calculator (Singapore)
Work out how much paid annual leave an employee has earned, including a part year. It applies the Employment Act scale — 7 days in the first year rising by one day a year to a maximum of 14 — and MOM's pro-rating method, where half a day or more rounds up.
1 = first year with this employer
Leave 0 to use the statutory minimum
Statutory annual leave starts at 7 days in the first year and rises by one day a year to a maximum of 14. Pro-rating uses completed months ÷ 12; half a day or more rounds up, less than half rounds down.

The statutory scale
An employee covered by the Employment Act earns 7 days of paid annual leave in their first year of service, and one additional day for each further year, up to a maximum of 14 days from the eighth year onward.
Entitlement begins after three months of service. Many Singapore employers offer more than the statutory minimum, which is why the calculator lets you enter a contractual figure instead — but a contract can never provide less than the Act requires.
Pro-rating a part year
For an incomplete year, MOM's method is completed months divided by twelve, multiplied by the annual entitlement. The rounding rule is specific: a fraction of a day below one half is rounded down, and one half or more is rounded up to a full day.
This matters most at resignation, when final leave encashment is calculated. Rounding the wrong way on a final payslip is a small amount of money and a large amount of goodwill.

How much annual leave am I entitled to in Singapore?
Under the Employment Act, 7 days in your first year of service, increasing by one day for each additional year, up to a maximum of 14 days from the eighth year. Entitlement starts after three months of service.
How is pro-rated annual leave calculated?
Completed months divided by 12, multiplied by the annual entitlement. A fraction of a day of less than one half is rounded down; one half or more is rounded up to one day.
Can my employer give less than the statutory leave?
No. The Employment Act sets a minimum. A contract may provide more, never less.
