About the calculator for calculating the number of vacation days
The vacation days calculator will easily allow you to find out how many days of vacation the employee has accumulated at one time or another.
Legislative basis for calculating vacation days
The calculation of vacation time is made in accordance with Art. 121 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
Why know your vacation record?
The time spent working for one employer, which gives the right to take annual leave, which will be paid, may be needed not only to directly calculate this period, but also to know how many days are subject to compensation upon dismissal.
What is included in the vacation experience?
An employee who continuously works for the same employer will be entitled to annual leave, taking into account the following periods:
- the time when he actually performed his duties;
- periods when the employee was absent from work, but his place was retained (vacation, sick leave, maternity leave, military service, etc.);
- weekends and other non-working days;
- forced absence from work due to illegal dismissal;
- suspension due to untimely completion of a medical examination (if this is not the employee’s fault);
- additional administrative leave (no more than two weeks per calendar year).
IMPORTANT! Changes were made to the legislation regarding the accrual of length of service during administrative leave:
- from 12/30/2001 to 10/05. 2006, no more than 7 days of vacation at your own expense per year were taken into account;
- from 10/06/2006 this limit increased to 14 days.
What is not included in the vacation experience
Some periods of time will not be taken into account when calculating the length of service required for leave, namely:
- employee absenteeism;
- suspension due to alcohol, drug or toxic intoxication;
- denial of permission to work due to ignorance or failure to pass safety regulations;
- the employee did not undergo a mandatory medical examination due to his own fault;
- inability to perform work according to a medical report;
- termination of a license required for work (for example, a driver’s license, a weapons permit, etc.);
- leave to care for a child over 1.5 years old.
Counting Features
The basis is the duration of annual leave of 28 days, unless otherwise established for special categories of employees.
In the first year of work, the minimum length of service to be able to go on vacation must be at least six months. This is not included in the calculator, just keep it in mind.
In case of dismissal, employees who have worked for at least 11 months will be able to receive 100% compensation for unused vacation days.
If the employee went on vacation before 11 months continuous operation, and then was fired, then he will have to return part of the vacation pay received in advance upon dismissal.
It is prohibited not to take annual leave for more than 2 years in a row.
It is allowed to break the vacation into parts, but one of the parts should not be shorter than 2 weeks.
Free online calculator Contour.Accounting will help you and tell you how many days have passed between two given dates. In addition, if you have a need, you can count how many calendar, weekends or working days (hours) a specified period of a year or several years contains.
How many days are there between dates? Instructions
You simply set a specific start and end day and get a quote in a split second. The online calculator calculates all data independently. If you change the original days of the week, the result is automatically recalculated to take into account leap years.
Important: you cannot take monthly working days/hours from last year’s calculations and provide them as calculations - the data will vary. Therefore, it is better to use a calculator.
So, the procedure is:
- In the “Start date” and “End date” fields, select the start and end day of the countdown, respectively, starting from 2013 and ending in the future in 2018.
- Set the number of working hours in a day in the next field. By default, this field is already set to 8 hours (40-hour work week), but you can change this number.
- On the right side of the screen in the banner you will see the result: working days, calendar days and working hours between the specified dates. The results must be copied and saved in your document.
What can you use a calculator for?
- To calculate penalties and delays under contracts
- How to understand the efficiency of using a resource and the deadlines for use
- How to avoid accidentally scheduling tasks on a weekend
- How much time is left until the deadline
Example:
You are an accountant. The manager has asked you, in the next couple of minutes, to provide data on the number of working hours that all company employees must work in February. You can easily determine the number of employees - you have the numbers in front of your eyes. But the number of hours needs to be counted.... How many days are there in February? Is it a leap year? What days were weekends? How to determine the number of days of holidays?
Solution: just use our widget. You will receive all the information automatically; you do not need desktop calendars and calculators.

Calculation of working days and weekends
The calculator is quite simple, but nevertheless, in my opinion, very convenient for calculating the number of working days between arbitrary dates.
The calculator uses data on the transfer of working days and holidays, which are contained in the annual decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation.
Of course, there are many such calculators and we are not original in this, but there are several highlights that I think you will like and can be used to create other calculators.
First highlight: We may not take into account holiday dates contained in the decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation, but only take into account weekends (for Russia, Saturday and Sunday)
The second highlight: For those countries whose days off are other days of the week (for example, in Israel, the days off are Friday and Saturday), you can specify which days of the week will be days off. This is convenient not only for other countries, but also for local use, when it is known that we work in shifts every Thursday, Saturday and Tuesday.
Third highlight: We can use a completely arbitrary system of days off, specified in a certain form (this function is not displayed on the site, although the functionality is working) and for everyone, building a production calendar for Belarus, Kazakhstan or Serbia will not be difficult.
A pleasant side effect of this calculator is also the calculation of the number of days between two dates. Moreover, she calculates the difference in the same way as is done in the accounting and personnel departments. That is, if a person works from July 1 to July 8, then it turns out to be 8 days. Since the last day is considered a working day.
Unlike mathematical and astronomical calculators, where with the same data it turns out to be 7 days. This error in one day appears due to the fact that in personnel decisions the last day is always a working day and must be taken into account, and in precise and abstract calculators it is believed that July 8 comes at midnight (0:0:0) and the difference between midnight on July 1 and midnight on July 8 (or 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds 999 milliseconds, 999999 microseconds, etc. on July 7) will be exactly 7 days.
The main principle that the bot adheres to is the frequency of days off during the week. If this is observed, the calculator will give the result you expected.
It is a pity that the resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation still do not implement a QR code, where all holidays for the current code would be indicated for machine processing. This would simplify the work of a certain circle of people.
Holidays and transfers on the territory of the Russian Federation are taken into account from 2010 to 2019 inclusive.
For users who need to calculate the first working date after a vacation or business trip or other period of time, pay attention to this calculator. Date of return to work from vacation, maternity leave online
Syntax
For Jabber clients
rab_d date.start; end date;week
week - gives full information about how to calculate working days and hours. A week consists of seven symbols 0 or 1, where each symbol has its own role. 0 - person is working, 1 - person is not working (day off). If the week is empty, then the code 0000011 is used - that is, Saturday and Sunday are closed.
I would like to note that this is a calendar week and this indicator shows how you rest during the week. Our week numbering starts from zero and this day is Monday, then Tuesday -1, Wednesday -2, etc.
start date - date in the form DD/MM/YYYY - indicates the beginning of the range for which the number of working days is calculated
end date - date in the form DD/MM/YYYY - indicates the end of the range for which the number of working days is calculated
ATTENTION! The date can be entered using a period or a slash. It is more convenient to enter through a dot on cell phones and tablets, and through a slash it is more convenient to enter on a computer on the keyboard on the right (digital panel)
Examples of use
rab_d 1/1/2014;31/12/2014
in response we will receive
Number of days between two specified dates 365
Number of working days 247
Number of days off and holidays 118
rab_d 2/7/2010;25/10/2013
In response we will receive
Number of days between two specified dates 1212
Number of working days 827
Number of weekends and holidays 385
rab_d 20/1/2010;10/2/2014;0101001
In response we get
Number of days between two specified dates 1483

Previous example, just ignore public holidays. As an option for use, shift duty, security, etc.
To perform certain tasks in Excel, you need to determine how many days have passed between certain dates. Fortunately, the program has tools that can solve this question. Let's find out how you can calculate the date difference in Excel.
Before you start working with dates, you need to format the cells to fit this format. In most cases, when you enter a set of characters similar to a date, the cell itself is reformatted. But it’s better to do it manually to protect yourself from surprises.
Now the program will recognize all the data that will be contained in the selected cells as a date.
Method 1: simple calculation
The easiest way to calculate the difference in days between dates is to use the usual formula.
Method 2: RAZNDAT function
You can also use a special function to calculate the difference in dates RAZNDAT. The problem is that it is not in the Function Wizard list, so you will have to enter the formula manually. Its syntax looks like this:
RAZNDAT(start_date, end_date, unit)
"Unit"— this is the format in which the result will be displayed in the selected cell. The units in which the total will be returned depends on which character is inserted into this parameter:
- "y" - full years;
- “m” - full months;
- "d" - days;
- "YM" - difference in months;
- “MD” is the difference in days (months and years are not taken into account);
- “YD” is the difference in days (years are not taken into account).
You should also note that, unlike the simple formula method described above, when using this function, the start date should be in the first place, and the end date in the second. Otherwise, the calculations will be incorrect.
Method 3: calculating the number of working days
In Excel it is also possible to calculate working days between two dates, that is, excluding weekends and holidays. To do this, use the function CHISTRABNI. Unlike the previous operator, it is present in the Function Wizard list. The syntax for this function is as follows:
NETWORKDAYS(start_date, end_date, [holidays])
In this function, the main arguments are the same as those of the operator RAZNDAT– start and end date. There is also an optional argument "Holidays".
Holiday dates should be substituted instead. non-working days, if any, for the period covered. The function calculates all days of the specified range, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, as well as those days added by the user to the argument "Holidays".
After the above manipulations, the number of working days for the specified period will be displayed in the pre-selected cell.
As you can see, Excel provides its users with quite convenient tools for calculating the number of days between two dates. At the same time, if you just need to calculate the difference in days, then a more optimal option would be to use a simple subtraction formula rather than using the function RAZNDAT. But if you need, for example, to count the number of working days, then the function will come to the rescue NETWORKDAYS. That is, as always, the user should decide on the execution tool after he has set a specific task.
If on an Excel sheet you work not only with numbers, graphs, pictures, but also with dates, then you have probably encountered a situation where you needed to calculate the difference between them. For example, you need to determine the number of days or months for a certain period of time, or calculate the age of a person so that the result is in days, months and years, or maybe you need to calculate exactly working days.
There is already an article about calculating the difference in Excel on the site, and in it I touched on dates a little. But now let's look at this issue in more detail and figure out how to calculate the number of days between two dates in a simple way or using the RAZNDAT() function, and how to determine the number of working days.
Method 1: Subtraction
Let's start with the simplest thing - subtract the second from one date, and get the value we need. Before doing this, make sure that the format of the cells in which the numbers are written is “Date”.
If you haven’t filled them in yet, then select the range you want to work with and click on the small arrow next to the name of the “Number” group.
In the window that opens on the left, select the format that suits us, and then in the main area, decide on the type: 03/14/12, 14 Mar 12 or another. Click "OK".
In those cells for which you just changed the format, enter data. I filled out A1 and B1. Now you need to select any cell (D1) in which the general data format is set, otherwise the calculations will be incorrect. Put “=” in it and press first the late (B1) date, then the early (A1). To calculate the number of days between them, press “Enter”.
Method 2: Using a function
To do this, select the cell in which the result will be (B3), and make sure that the general format is selected for it.
To calculate days we will use the AZNDAT() function. It includes three arguments: start and end date, one. Unit is what we want to get the result in. Substituted here:
“d” – number of days;
“m” – number of full months;
“y” – number of full years;
“md” – will count days without taking into account months and years;
“yd” – counting days without taking into account only years;
“ym” – will count the months without taking into account the year.
We put an equal sign in B3, write RAZNDAT and open the bracket. Then select the early date (A1), then the latest date (B1), put a suitable unit in quotes and close the bracket. Place ";" between all arguments. . To calculate, press "Enter".
I came up with this formula:
RAZNDAT(A1;B1;"d")
Choosing “d” as the unit, I got the result - 111.
If you change this value, for example, to “md”, then the formula will calculate the difference between 5 and 24 without taking into account months and years.
By changing this argument in this way, it will be possible to derive the exact age of the person. In one cell there will be years “y”, the second month “ym”, the third day “md”
Method 3: counting working days
For example, let's take this sign. In column A we have the beginning of the month or the starting date of the countdown, in B we have the end of the month or countdown. This function counts working days without taking into account Saturday and Sunday, but there are also holidays in the months, so we will fill column C with the corresponding dates.
NETWORKDAYS(A5;B5;C5)
As arguments we indicate the start date (A5), then the end date (B5). The last argument is holidays (C5). We separate them with ";" .
By pressing “Enter” the result will appear, in the example cell D5 – 21 days.
Now consider if there are several holidays in a month. For example, in January New Year and Christmas. Select cell (D6) and put equal in it. Then click on the letter “f” in the formula bar. A window will open "Insert a function". In the Category field, select "Complete alphabetical list" and find the function you need in the list. Click "OK".
Next you need to select the function arguments. In “Start_date” we select the initial value (A6), in “End_date” we select the final value (B6). In the last field, enter the dates of holidays in parentheses () and quotation marks "". Then click "OK".
As a result, we will get the following function and the value will be calculated without taking into account weekends and specified holidays:
NETWORKDAYS(A6;B6;("01/01/17";"01/07/17"))
To avoid entering holidays manually, you can specify a specific range in the corresponding field. Mine is C6:C7.
The working days will be counted, and the function will look like:
NETWORKDAYS(A6;B6;C6:C7)
Now let's do the calculation for last month. Enter the function and fill in its arguments:
NETWORKDAYS(A8;B8;C8)
In February there were 19 working days.
