About The Annual Leave Calculator Australia
We built https://annualleavecalculatoraus.com/ to solve a simple problem: most annual leave calculators online either get the numbers wrong, or copy-paste the same generic content across every state page with the state name swapped in. We wanted something better — a free, accurate tool for Australian employees and employers to work out annual leave, long service leave, and leave cost, backed by content that’s actually checked against the source.
How We Keep This Accurate
Every formula and figure on this Site is cross-checked against:
- The Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and the National Employment Standards
- Each state and territory’s current Long Service Leave legislation
- Guidance published by the Fair Work Ombudsman
We review our content periodically and update it when legislation changes. If you ever spot something that looks outdated or incorrect, we genuinely want to know — see our Contact Us page.
Who We Are
The Annual Leave Calculator Australia is an independent informational resource. We are not a law firm, an HR consultancy, or a government body, and nothing on this Site should be treated as legal or professional advice — see our full Disclaimer for details on how to use the calculators responsibly.
Why It’s Free
This Site is free to use for everyone. [If applicable: We support the cost of running it through advertising — see our Privacy Policy for how that works.]

I build simple, accurate tools to help Australian employees understand their workplace entitlements — starting with annual leave. I created this calculator after noticing how often people got confused about their leave balance, especially with pro-rata calculations, casual loading, and the small differences between states and awards. Every calculation here is based on the real NES formula from the Fair Work Act, not a rough guess. My focus is on keeping these tools accurate, easy to use, and genuinely useful — so you can check your entitlements in seconds.
