Annual leave replacement cover budget Calculator

Budget incremental temporary cover for entered employee leave arrangements. This free annual leave replacement cover budget calculator shows the calculation and its assumptions so you can compare your own figures.

How the annual leave replacement cover budget calculation works

Leave hours = employees × leave days × hours per day. Replacement cost applies the cover share and replacement hourly cost.

Leave entitlement is an entered contract assumption. Original employee salary is excluded from this incremental cover budget.
