To calculate your annual leave remaining, start by checking your company's leave policy to understand how many days you're entitled to per year and how they accrue. Then, review any leave you've already taken during the year by checking your pay slips, leave statements, or HR system. Subtract the days you've taken from your total entitlement. Don't forget to account for pro-rated leave if you haven't been employed for the full year or if you plan to leave the company. Always confirm with your HR department for the most accurate calculation.
