Korean Annual Leave Calculator
Based on Korean Labor Standards Act §60. Enter the hire date and a reference date — accrued leave and bonus days appear instantly.
How to Use
Pick the date you started at the company. The reference date defaults to today; change it to see leave on a different date.
Choose hire-date basis (rolls over on each anniversary — Korean statutory default) or fiscal-year basis (rolls over Jan 1 every year — used by most Korean companies for convenience). Under fiscal-year basis the first year is prorated.
Service period, under-1-year monthly leave, base 15 days, 3+ year bonus, and total accrued leave appear instantly. Toggle "Attendance under 80%" to apply proration for the 1-year mandatory full attendance rule.
FAQ
How is annual leave computed?
Korean Labor Standards Act §60: (1) under 1 year — 1 day per fully attended month, max 11 days; (2) 1+ year with ≥80% attendance — 15 days; (3) 3+ year — +1 day every 2 years, up to a 25-day total ceiling.
Hire-date basis vs fiscal-year basis?
Hire-date: leave rolls over each year on your hire anniversary (statutory default). Fiscal-year: leave rolls over on Jan 1 for everyone (used by most companies). On fiscal-year basis the first calendar year is prorated; on resignation, settlement must be the larger of fiscal-year amount and hire-date amount.
How does 3+ year bonus leave grow?
3rd year +1 (total 16), 5th year +2 (17), 7th year +3 (18), and so on — +1 day every 2 years, capped at +10 days (total 25 days).
Under 1 year — how much leave do I have?
1 day per fully attended month after hire. e.g., 1 month = 1 day, 5 months = 5 days, 11 months = 11 days. At month 12 you hit 1 year and 15 days are granted separately, so the under-1-year monthly leave is capped at 11 days.
What if attendance is under 80%?
The Labor Standards Act requires ≥80% attendance in the past year for the 15-day grant. If attendance falls short, only 1 day per fully attended month is granted (max 11). This tool's toggle applies that proration.
