Canada
There is no single Canadian formula. Each province and territory sets its own minimum vacation time and vacation pay, and federally regulated work follows the Canada Labour Code — so you choose your jurisdiction.
- Leave entitlementStatutory vacation weeks for your province, territory or federally regulated job, with the official source.
- Accrued balanceAn employer-policy estimate of the vacation days you have left, kept separate from the legal minimum.
- Leave payGross vacation pay at your jurisdiction's percentage, less any vacation pay already paid.

United States
There is no federal statutory paid vacation. Paid time off comes from your employer's policy, so these tools work from the policy you enter.
- Leave entitlementYour allowance comes from your employer's policy, not a federal minimum. Enter the policy and the calculator does the rest.
- Accrued balanceStatutory paid leave you accrue under your state's own law, with the official rate, cap and source.
- Leave payA gross value for your remaining PTO hours at your pay rate.

What each tool answers
- Leave entitlement
- How much paid leave a full period is worth — 5.6 weeks in the UK, four weeks (five for a defined shiftworker) in Australia. In Canada it depends on your province, territory or whether your job is federally regulated. In the United States there is no federal minimum, so entitlement comes from your employer's policy instead.
- Accrued balance
- How much has actually built up by a date, after any leave already taken. Accrual is not the same as permission: many employers allow leave before it has built up, and that is their decision.
- Leave pay
- What that time off is worth in money. Entitlement and pay are separate calculations with separate rules, so they are kept on separate pages.
