Three things to check before you book
- Pick the right region. Scotland and Northern Ireland have different bank holidays from England and Wales.
- Check your working week. This calculator assumes Saturdays and Sundays are days off.
- Confirm your entitlement. Bank holidays do not automatically mean paid leave under every contract.
