Unpaid Leave Pay Deduction Calculator

If you take unpaid time off, your pay for that time is usually taken off your next check. This works out how much, from your yearly salary and the number of working days.

How it works

Divide the yearly salary by the working days in the year to get the pay for one day. Multiply that by the unpaid days off.

Working days are often 260 for a five-day week, but use the number your employer counts. Some employers deduct by the hour, which gives a different figure.

Worked example

On a yearly salary of $52,000.00, with 260 working days, each day is worth $200.00, so 3 unpaid days come to a deduction of $600.00.

Questions

Is it always taken off by the day?

Not always. Some employers take the amount by the hour, and some by the pay period. Check the policy that applies to you.

Does this include tax?

No. The figure is the gross amount taken off, before tax.

Can the deduction be spread out?

Ask your payroll team. How a deduction is split across pay dates depends on the employer's process.
