Example result

Annual leave remaining in this entitlement period

7days

For anniversary-based service with the same employer, not a January reset. Check carryover, termination and other systems separately. Taiwan labor-law rules apply.

Full years of service1 years
Leave already taken0 days

Taiwan Labor Standards Act anniversary-based continuous service only; unpaid leave is not deducted. Entitlement: 3 days after 6 months, 7 after 1 year, 10 after 2, 14 after 3, 15 after 5, 16 after 10, then one more per year up to 30. Use the Ministry of Labor's full tool for carryover, termination settlements or calendar/school-year systems. Do not add the first six-month 3 days again to the new anniversary's 7 days. For a month-end start and a shorter corresponding month, uses that month's last day. Refer disputes to the labor authority.

Method and scope

Entitlement is three days at six months, seven at one year, ten at two years, 14 at three years, 15 at five years and 16 at ten years. After ten years it increases by one day annually up to 30; subtract used days within the applicable period.

Do not add the earlier six-month three-day entitlement to the new one-year seven-day entitlement. Used leave is not necessarily the calendar-year total since January.

Taiwan scope excludes service interruptions such as unpaid leave adjustments, carryover and termination settlement. Month-end dates use the corresponding month's last day when shorter; calendar-year or school-year allocation and disputes require the full Ministry of Labor tool or competent authority.

What this helps you do

Estimate statutory annual leave under Taiwan's Labor Standards Act anniversary system. Use continuous service and the leave used within the current entitlement period.

What to enter

Start with employment start date, then fill the other relevant fields in the units shown. The field hints explain the required format and examples.

How the calculation works

Entitlement is three days at six months, seven at one year, ten at two years, 14 at three years, 15 at five years and 16 at ten years. After ten years it increases by one day annually up to 30; subtract used days within the applicable period.

Worked example

A worker starting on 2025-11-03 reaches one year on 2026-11-03 and enters a seven-day anniversary entitlement. If two days were used within that new period, five remain.

Understanding the answer

Do not add the earlier six-month three-day entitlement to the new one-year seven-day entitlement. Used leave is not necessarily the calendar-year total since January.

Scope and limitations

Taiwan scope excludes service interruptions such as unpaid leave adjustments, carryover and termination settlement. Month-end dates use the corresponding month's last day when shorter; calendar-year or school-year allocation and disputes require the full Ministry of Labor tool or competent authority.
