How to Calculate Unused Vacation Compensation?

The compensation for unused vacation days can be calculated using the following formula:

Compensation Calculation:

§§ C = U \times \left( \frac{S}{D} \right) \times (1 - T) §§

where:

  • § C § — compensation for unused vacation days
  • § U § — number of unused vacation days
  • § S § — monthly salary
  • § D § — number of working days in a month
  • § T § — taxes and deductions (as a decimal)

This formula calculates the total compensation you are entitled to for your unused vacation days after accounting for taxes.

Example:

  • Unused Vacation Days (§ U §): 5
  • Monthly Salary (§ S §): $3000
  • Working Days in Month (§ D §): 22
  • Taxes and Deductions (§ T §): 20% (0.20)

Calculation:

  1. Calculate the daily rate:

    • Daily Rate = § S § / § D § = 3000 / 22 ≈ $136.36

  2. Calculate the compensation:

    • Compensation = § U § × Daily Rate × (1 - § T §)
    • Compensation = 5 × 136.36 × (1 - 0.20) ≈ 5 × 136.36 × 0.80 ≈ $545.45
