About

Aussie Leave Calculator is a free online tool that helps Australian workers get the most out of their annual leave. By analysing public holidays, weekends, and your available leave days, it recommends the most efficient dates to book time off.

How It Works

The calculator scans public holidays for your state or territory, identifies gaps between non-working days, and calculates exactly how many leave days you need to bridge each gap. It then selects the best combination of leave blocks based on your chosen strategy.
