Vacation pay calculation
Vacation pay calculator under Procedure No. 100
Planning annual leave after working in Lviv, remotely for a Lviv employer, or at a business in the region? Organize monthly payslips and period days to check the arithmetic. If relocation caused data loss or a bonus has not yet been allocated, the calculator will not replace missing information with an estimate.

Preliminary vacation pay calculation
Use pre-tax amounts, already excluding payments that Procedure No. 100 does not allow to be included.
Enter 1 to 12 amounts separated by semicolons or new lines. Use legally verified monthly accruals, not salary, bank deposits, or take-home pay.
Usually, this is the 12 months before the month of leave; for shorter employment, determine the period separately.
Do not automatically subtract public holidays: Article 73 of the Labour Code does not apply during martial law.
Check the dates against the order: enter only the days in the part of the leave being paid now.

The brief summary is easy to paste into a message to a lawyer or save for yourself.
How average pay is calculated for annual leave
The standard calculation period is the 12 calendar months before the month in which the leave begins. For service of less than a year, Procedure No. 100 provides for a shorter actual period, which must be determined from the employment dates rather than chosen arbitrarily.
Only payments due are included in the numerator. Bonuses and awards may need to be allocated among the months for which they were accrued; sick pay, previous average-pay payments, and other entries also need classification. The calculator therefore accepts monthly totals that have already been checked.
The denominator is the calendar days in the period minus only lawful exclusions. When Article 73 of the Labour Code is temporarily not applied because of martial law, a calendar holiday alone is not a reason to deduct a day.
Calculation methodology
Review methodology
We identify the annual leave start date and the limits of the applicable calculation period.
We total monthly gross accruals after checking their type and the inclusion rules.
We identify the calendar days in the period and documented exclusions, without automatically subtracting holidays.
We calculate the average as the exact ratio of the amount to the number of days, without intermediate rounding.
Multiply the exact ratio by the leave days and round the final gross amount to the nearest kopeck.
Example
Example after changing employers in Lviv
An employee started working for a Lviv company less than a year ago. The accountant identified the correct shorter period of 214 calendar days; 12 days are documented exclusions, and the included monthly accruals total UAH 238,500. The leave lasts 10 days.
- Included accruals: UAH 238,500.00
- Days in the denominator: 214 − 12 = 202
- Paid leave: 10 calendar days
238,500 ÷ 202 × 10 = UAH 11,806.93 gross. The displayed average daily amount is rounded for readability only.
The shorter period and every exclusion must be supported by documents; the calculator does not establish them.
Documents for reconciliation
- The application and order showing the annual leave dates.
- Pay statements for all months in the defined period.
- Certificate from accounting showing payments and a list of amounts not included.
- Calculation of calendar and excluded days with their legal grounds.
- Bonus policy and monthly allocation of remuneration.
- Employment and collective agreements concerning the deadline for holiday pay.
- Bank statement showing the date vacation pay was received.
Frequently asked questions
Which months should be included in the calculation?
Usually, use the twelve calendar months before the month in which leave begins. If the employment relationship is shorter, determine the period under the special rule in paragraph 2 of Procedure No. 100.
Are public holidays excluded in 2026?
Not solely because of the holiday’s name. Article 73 of the Labour Code does not apply during martial law. A day may be deducted if another applicable ground under Procedure No. 100 applies.
How to account for an annual or quarterly bonus
Do not simply add it to the payment month. Check the period for which the bonus was accrued and allocate it under Procedure No. 100; then enter the completed monthly amounts.
When must vacation pay be paid?
The current general rule is payment before the leave begins. Another period may be set by law, an employment agreement, or a collective agreement; the former universal three-day rule is no longer the general rule.
Is the calculation suitable for compensation on dismissal?
No. Compensation has a separate payment date and may require different bases for rights accrued before the end of 2023 and from 2024 onward. Use the separate calculator.
