How to Calculate How Much Annual Leave Is Worth
Your employer may announce your annual leave in blanket terms, such as two weeks or 10 days of vacation time each year. While most employees translate the announcement into a number of paid weeks off, many do not know how to translate paid leave time into a value that can be used to budget and plan for expenses. When you prepare for your vacation, knowing the value of your leave ensures that you have ample funds to cover vacation expenses and your regular bills after you return.

Determine your rate of pay based on the annual leave units used by your company. For example, if your employer calculates your leave in hours, determine your hourly rate of pay. If your employer calculates your leave in days, calculate your daily rate of pay. If you earn a salary, divide your gross income for a pay period by the number of hours worked in that pay period; the result is your hourly rate of pay. To calculate your daily rate of pay, multiply your hourly rate of pay by the average number of hours you work in a day.
