Leave encashment calculator
Estimate the value of unused leave days using your monthly salary and the leave balance you expect to encash.
Estimate
Fill in the values to see an estimate.
The result will update after you calculate. Use it as a planning aid alongside your contract, payslips, and employer policy details.
Why this matters
Unused leave often gets overlooked during stressful exits. Even a modest balance can meaningfully improve your settlement or short-term cash position.
How to use the result
Pair the estimate with your official leave balance, payslip, and HR policy documents. If the payout basis is unclear, keep the number as a planning estimate rather than a confirmed entitlement.
Assumptions behind this estimate
- The calculator converts monthly salary into a simple daily rate using 30 days.
- It assumes the leave balance is eligible for encashment.
- It does not distinguish between different leave types unless your policy already does that.
Frequently asked questions
Can every type of leave be encashed?
No. Many employers limit encashment to specific leave categories, so review your leave policy before relying on the result.
Should I use gross salary or basic salary?
Use the salary basis your employer uses for leave payout if that is documented. A different basis can materially change the estimate.
