Vacation compensation
Compensation for unused leave calculator
Enter the number of unused days confirmed by HR and the ready average daily amounts from accounting. For an employee in Kyiv or Kyiv Region, the calculator does not derive days from service; it transparently multiplies each verified group by its separate calculation base.

Preliminary compensation calculation
Separate the days by the date the entitlement arose. Enter amounts before tax withholding and round to kopecks only in the final average daily base.
If one group is absent, enter 0 days and 0 UAH for that group. Do not determine the number of days solely from the hiring and termination 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 is only as accurate as the days entered and the two average daily bases. The calculator does not determine insurance service, leave types, calculation periods, taxes, or take-home pay.
Check HR and payroll calculationsWhy can compensation consist of two parts
Article 83 of the Labour Code and Article 24 of the Law “On Leave” provide cash compensation for all unused annual leave days and, in statutory cases, additional leave for employees with children or an adult child with a childhood disability in subgroup A of group I.
Procedure No. 100 contains a special transitional rule: for leave entitlements acquired by December 31, 2023, average earnings are calculated from payments accrued in 2023; for entitlements from January 1, 2024, use the general rules based on payments during the last 12 calendar months before compensation.
Therefore, the tool accepts two ready-made average daily amounts. It does not try to derive them from salary or determine service days without personnel data.
Calculation methodology
Preliminary calculation methodology
- The user obtains from the employer the confirmed number of unused days, separated by the date the entitlement arose.
- Accounting separately determines the average gross daily amount for each group under Procedure No. 100.
- The calculator multiplies whole days in each group by that group’s amount in kopecks.
- The two parts are added without intermediate floating-point rounding.
Example of a mixed balance
An employee of a Kyiv company is leaving with 10 confirmed leave days accrued by the end of 2023 and 8 days accrued from 2024 onward.
- 10 days × UAH 1,200.50
- 8 days × UAH 1,500.00
Estimated compensation is UAH 12,005.00 + UAH 12,000.00 = UAH 24,005.00 gross.
The example uses ready-made average daily amounts and does not verify the personnel balance or accounting base.

Frequently asked questions
Why can’t all days simply be multiplied by one amount?
If there are entitlements acquired before the end of 2023 and from 2024 onward, Procedure No. 100 provides for different bases. Using one average daily amount may distort the result.
Does the calculator determine the number of days itself?
No. Days depend on work years, types of leave, periods used, and personnel records. Enter only a verified number.
Are all unused leave days compensated on dismissal?
The law expressly covers all unused days of annual leave and the specified additional leave for employees with children. Other types must be checked separately.
Can I receive money instead of leave without being dismissed?
At the employee’s request, part of annual leave may be replaced with compensation, but the annual leave actually taken must be at least 24 calendar days; substitution is not allowed for minors.
Is this the take-home amount?
No. The calculator shows the gross amount before taxes and other lawful deductions.
