How do I calculate the holiday pay I should be paid post tax etc?

Hello all,

How can I calculate the holiday pay I should get post tax?

I have 12 days remaining which the company agreed to pay if I don't take it.

My job is salary based, get 24 days a year annual leave from January to Dec. I have no student loans etc so just normal tax (have tax code if needed).

Can anyone point me to tools or a way to calculate how much I should receive? I do not trust my company to get it right as they make mistakes so want to make sure I am paid right.

    Payment for unused statutory holiday is not legal unless you are leaving.

    Do you mean 24+BH

    Check your contract of employment. Mine says in the event I am entitled to holiday pay, then it is calculated at a rate of 1/260th


    So if I had annual salary of £30,000, then I would get £30,000 / 260 = £115.38p for each day owed (which is subject to tax).


    Also I believe getmore4less is correct, I get 28 days annual leave but this includes BH's (so you need to take out BH's from your calculations and then any other annual leave taken)
    I have a tendency to mute most posts so if your expecting me to respond you might be waiting along time!
