Allowance & taken
Annual leave allowance, public holidays included, and days already taken.
Results
Remaining = Allowance + Holidays − Taken. With accrual: Accrued = (Allowance ÷ 12) × Months elapsed; remaining accrued = Accrued − Taken.
What this metric means
Remaining days off are what you have left to take in the period. Accrual-based remaining shows what you've earned so far minus what you've used.
How to calculate it
Simple: Remaining = Allowance + Holidays − Taken. With accrual: Accrued = (Allowance ÷ 12) × Months elapsed; Remaining accrued = Accrued − Taken.
How to improve the metric
Use remaining days to plan leave and avoid lapse. If your policy allows carry-over, plan year-end so you don't lose days.
Common mistakes
Mixing allowance and holiday definitions; using the wrong leave year or months elapsed; or forgetting to update 'taken' as you book leave.
How to interpret your result
Use remaining to schedule time off and to check you're not over- or under-using leave. With accrual, compare taken to accrued to avoid negative balance.
