Vacation calculator

What it calculates

The vacation days earned in a period, the extra days for seniority, the balance after the days you already took and their cash value for a final settlement.

What you need

• Start date.
• Start and end of the period.
• Your average monthly pay.
• Vacation days already taken.

How it is calculated

• Days: 15 a year, including non-working days. From the sixth year with the same employer, one more day per additional year, up to 15 extra days (Labor Code, art. 69).
• Value: one twenty-fourth of everything you earned in a year (art. 71).
• Carry-over: up to three years, to be taken in the fourth (art. 75).
• Untaken days: paid proportionally when you leave (art. 76).

2026 figures

At the basic wage of USD 482, 15 vacation days are worth 482 × 12 ÷ 24 = USD 241, or USD 16.07 per day.

Legal basis

• Labor Code, arts. 69, 71, 74, 75 and 76. Public servants follow the LOSEP instead.
