Estonian vacation pay calculator
Work out your vacation pay in Estonia from the leave dates, with public holidays, net pay and the employer's cost, or the leave days left and the compensation when a contract ends.
Leave start and end
Example: a monthly salary of 2,000.00 € and a two-week leave. Enter your own details and press "Calculate".
Vacation pay (gross)
952.40 €
How it is calculated
The second-last working day before the leave is 3 Dec 2026. By its month the period is 1 Jun 2026 to 30 Nov 2026.
Your pay was the same for six months, so no average is computed and your salary continues: the month's salary is divided by its working days and multiplied by the working days of the leave in that month (decree on average pay § 1(1¹)).
Taxes, net and the employer's cost
Taxes are calculated as on a salary. In more detail: Salary and Tax Calculator
The employer pays vacation pay no later than 3 Dec 2026 unless agreed otherwise. By agreement it may be paid later, but no later than the first payday after the leave (Employment Contracts Act § 70(2)).

How it works?
How the vacation pay calculator works
Pick the start and end of your leave and enter your pay. The calculator finds the second-last working day before the leave, the six-month period that follows from it and the public holidays from our holiday data. Public holidays inside the leave are not leave days: the leave gets longer and they are not paid.
- If your pay was exactly the same for six months, your salary continues during the leave. The month's salary is divided by the month's working days and multiplied by the working days of the leave.
- Otherwise the average calendar-day pay is used: the period's pay divided by its calendar days less public holidays and days away from work. Vacation pay is the average times the leave days.
- On the tab "Leave days and compensation" the calculator works out how many days you have earned this year and what the employer pays for unused leave when the contract ends.
Net pay and the employer's cost are calculated as in the salary calculator. The calculation has been checked against the Labour Inspectorate's worked examples.
