2027 quick answer

Start with the dates. Then make them yours.

For a Monday-to-Friday worker in England and Wales, 12 days of annual leave can create 30 calendar days away across three separate breaks. The best plan changes with your region and the days you actually work.

England & Wales · Mon–Fri 1230 leave days · calendar days off

Three requests cover Easter, May and Christmas.

Book four days in March, four in May and four around Christmas. The planner searches the whole year and keeps the breaks from overlapping.

These are planning suggestions, not additional entitlement. They assume the selected bank holidays are non-working days and count every calendar day from the start to the end of each break.

Your week matters

The same 12 leave days can produce a different answer.

Enter the leave balance your employer confirms. Compressed-hours and part-time policies often record leave in hours or treat bank holidays differently.
