Japan paid leave calculator (有給休暇)

Enter the date you joined your company and see how many days of paid leave the law gives you. Works for full-time, contract, 派遣, パート and アルバイト.

The start date of your contract (入社日).

The law requires you to have worked 80% of the working days in the previous period. The calculator assumes you did. Your contract or company rules can give more days than the law, never fewer.

Common questions

Do part-time workers get 有給?

Yes. After 6 months in a row at the company, every worker gets paid leave. If you work 4 days or fewer per week and under 30 hours, you get a proportional number of days. For example, 7 days if you work 4 days per week.

Do 有給 days expire?

They expire 2 years after the date they were given. What is left from one year can be carried over to the next year once.

Can the company refuse my request?

It cannot refuse your right. It can ask you to change the date only when your absence on that day would really disrupt the business. You do not have to explain why you want the day off.

What happens to my days when I leave the company?

Unused days are lost on your last day of work. That is why people usually take their days before they leave. The company does not have to pay for unused days.
