How this calculator works

The calculator applies at least 4% after five calendar days of employment. At five completed consecutive years it applies 6%. It also displays the general vacation-time level earned after a completed year.

What this version does not decide

  • A contract or collective agreement that provides more
  • Whether a particular bonus, allowance or later commission is statutory wages
  • Adjustments when vacation pay is paid on every cheque
  • Detailed termination and leave-of-absence scenarios

Where any exclusion applies, use the official source or obtain qualified advice before relying on an estimate.
