Leave Payout Calculator: Unused Annual Leave & Loading 2026

This page is a free calculator that works out the value of unused annual leave paid out when someone leaves a job in Australia, including the 17.5% leave loading where an award or agreement provides it and a note on tax. People land on it when finishing a job and want to know what their leave balance is worth, and it links onward to final pay, leave loading, payment in lieu of notice and long service leave tools.

Australian employees who are resigning, being made redundant or finishing a job and want to estimate their leave payout; some HR or payroll staff may also use it.

A mention would suit brands serving people in a job transition, such as tax or accounting help, personal finance and budgeting apps, savings or lending products, employment law or career services, and job boards. It would read most naturally beside the payout result and tax note, or in the 'What to check next' section, where the reader is deciding what to do with a lump sum or planning their next step; brands unrelated to money or work changes would fit poorly.
