How much holiday do I get?

Use our annual leave calculator to work out your allowance.

Changes to annual leave years

At the moment, most departments' run their annual leave year from October to September, while some use January to December.

From August 2026, the new University-wide leave year will run from August to July. To make this change possible, your 2025-26 leave year will be shorter than usual so that everyone can start the 2026-27 leave year at the same time.

Annual leave calculator

This should be a number above 0 but no larger than 37. If your hours of work change part-way through a leave year, calculate the hours for each period separately, then add them together.
From August 2026, the leave year for all employees will be August to July. To prepare for this, the 2025-26 leave years will be shorter. In the dropdown, you’ll see these labelled as a ‘shortened transitional year’.
What is your start date for this calculation?
This is either the first day of the leave year (1st October, 1st January, or 1st August), the date you joined the University, or the date your hours changed.
What is your end date for this calculation?*
This is either the last day of the leave year (30th September, 31st December or 31st July), the date you’re leaving the University, or the date you finished working a specific number of hours.
This is for calculating your leave in days. If your daily hours or work pattern isn’t fixed, we can't calculate your allowance in days. In that case, leave this field as the default value.
