Vacation compensation
Compensation for unused leave calculator
Enter the days confirmed by HR and the ready average daily amounts from accounting. For an employee in Lviv or Lviv Region, the tool does not derive days from service; it transparently calculates each group using its own base.

Preliminary compensation calculation
Separate the days by the date the entitlement arose. Enter amounts before tax; accounting must round the final average daily base to kopecks.
If the group is absent, enter 0 days and 0 UAH. Do not determine the days solely from employment dates.
Estimated result
Preliminary gross calculationTotal gross compensation
24 005,00 UAH
- Portion for entitlements accrued before 31.12.2023
- 12 005,00 UAH
- Portion for entitlements accrued from 01.01.2024
- 12 000,00 UAH
- Transparent formula
- 10 × 1 200,50 UAH + 8 × 1 500,00 UAH
Important: The result depends on the accuracy of the entered days and bases. The tool does not determine insurance service, leave types, calculation periods, taxes, or take-home pay.
Check HR and payroll calculationsWhy are two parts needed
Article 83 of the Labour Code and Article 24 of the Law “On Leave” provide compensation for all unused annual leave days and statutory additional leave for employees with children.
For entitlements acquired by December 31, 2023, Procedure No. 100 requires using payments accrued in 2023; for entitlements from 2024 onward, apply the general rules for the 12 calendar months before payment.
Therefore, the calculator accepts two ready-made average daily amounts and does not derive them from salary.
Calculation methodology
Preliminary calculation methodology
Get confirmed days separated into before/after 2023.
Get two average gross daily amounts under Procedure No. 100.
Multiply each group in kopecks without floating-point arithmetic.
Add the components without intermediate rounding.
Example
Example for an employee in Lviv
An employee of a Lviv company has 6 confirmed days accrued through the end of 2023 and 12 days accrued from 2024 onward.
- 6 days × UAH 1,250
- 12 days × UAH 1,475
Estimated: UAH 7,500 + UAH 17,700 = UAH 25,200 gross.
The example does not confirm the leave balance in personnel records or the correctness of the accounting bases.

Frequently asked questions
Why can’t one average amount be used?
Leave entitlements earned through the end of 2023 and from 2024 onward use different calculation bases under Procedure No. 100.

No. They must be confirmed by work year, type of leave, and personnel records.

Can I receive money without being dismissed?
Only for part of annual leave, provided that at least 24 calendar days are actually used; substitution is not allowed for minors.
Does the result show take-home pay?
No, this is a gross estimate before taxes and deductions.
