Step by- Step Guide to Calculate NHS UK Annual Leave And Bank Holidays
The calculation of NHS annual leave and bank holidays depends on your contract type length of service and working hours.
Follow these steps to determine your entitlement
| Years of NHS Service | Annual Leave (Full-Time) |
| 0 to 4 years | 27 days |
| 5 to 9 years | 29 days |
| 10+ years | 33 days |
Step 2: Verify Your Bank Holiday Entitlement
And NHS staff also get 8 bank holidays annually.
These 8 bank holidays are given to staff working full-time (37.5 hours per week) as standard.
Part-time employees will receive pay for bank holidays on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their contracted hours.
Step 3: Make Pro-Rata for Part-Time Employees
If you do less than full-time hours, your leave (including bank holidays) is pro-rata.
Formula for Part-Time Staff:
Total Leave = (contracted weekly hours / 37.5 ) x (annual Leave – 8 Bank Holidays )
Example Calculation:
A nurse working 22.5 hours /week and 5 years of service (29 days leave)
Total leave calculation – 22.5/37.5) x (29+8) = 0.6×37 = 22.2 days
This nurse has a total of 22.2 days leave (including bank holidays) to which she is entitled.
Step 4: Translate That Into Hours (If You Work Shift)
If you have irregular shifts, you should count leave in hours and not days.
Formula for Shift Workers:
Total Leave (Hours)=Total Leave (Days)×5Weekly Contracted Hours
Example Calculation:
A staff member employed for over 10+ years (33 days) on a 30 hour per week part time contract.
Switch days into hours:33×305=198 hours leave33 \times \frac{30}{5} = 198 \text{ hours leave}33×530=198 hours leave
Step 5: Subtract Bank Holidays (If You Work Them)
If your normal working day coincides with a bank holiday, that day is counted as part of your leave.
Those who work bank holidays may get TOIL instead.
If you don’t work on bank holidays, you’re entitled to proportionally less.
Final Summary
✅ Look out your leave entitlement for the number of years you have been a service.
✅ Include bank holidays (8 days for full-time staff pro-rata for part-time).
❌ If you are part-time use your contracted hours to figure out your pro-rata leave.
✅ Convert leave to hours if irregular shifts
✅ If you will only take the leave for part of the year, use the formula for monthly contributions.
Following this method ensures that you can accurately calculate your NHS annual leave and bank holiday entitlement!
