Leave Encashment Calculator
Calculate your accrued untaken leave cash payout (based on proration by exit month and days taken/sold).
How Leave Encashment Is Calculated in Kenya
Leave encashment converts your accrued, untaken annual leave days into a cash payout, typically on exit. Accrual is prorated by how far into the year you've worked — for example, exiting in August accrues 8/12 of your annual entitlement. From that accrued balance, any leave days already taken or previously sold/encashed are subtracted to give the days still due. Each remaining day is valued at your day rate, calculated as basic monthly salary divided by 26.
How is the leave day rate calculated?
Your leave day rate is your basic monthly salary divided by 26 working days — the same day-rate convention used for severance and notice pay calculations.
