Question 1

How much holiday am I entitled to in the UK?

Accepted Answer

UK workers are entitled to a minimum of 5.6 weeks' paid holiday per year. For someone working 5 days a week, that's 28 days including bank holidays. Part-time workers receive a pro-rata amount.

Question 2

Do bank holidays count towards my holiday entitlement?

Accepted Answer

There is no legal right to bank holidays off. However, employers can include the 8 UK bank holidays as part of your 5.6 weeks' statutory minimum. Many employers offer bank holidays on top of annual leave.

Question 3

How do I calculate part-time holiday entitlement?

Accepted Answer

Multiply 5.6 by the number of days worked per week. For example, someone working 3 days per week gets 3 × 5.6 = 16.8 days annual leave. Our calculator does this automatically.
