What is Sabbatical Leave Pay?

Sabbatical leave is a period during which an employee is allowed to take time off from work while still receiving a portion of their salary. This time can be used for various purposes, such as personal development, research, or rest. The Sabbatical Leave Pay Calculator helps you estimate the total pay you will receive during your sabbatical based on your base salary, the duration of your leave, and the percentage of your salary that will be paid during this time.

How to Calculate Sabbatical Leave Pay?

The total sabbatical pay can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Sabbatical Pay (T) is given by:

§§ T = (B \times P \times D) + A §§

where:

  • § T § — total sabbatical pay
  • § B § — base salary (monthly)
  • § P § — payment percentage (as a decimal)
  • § D § — leave duration (in months)
  • § A § — additional payments (if applicable)

Example:

  • Base Salary (§ B §): $5,000
  • Leave Duration (§ D §): 6 months
  • Payment Percentage (§ P §): 80% (0.80 as a decimal)
  • Additional Payments (§ A §): $1,000 (optional)

Total Sabbatical Pay:

§§ T = (5000 \times 0.80 \times 6) + 1000 = 24,000 §§
