Maximise your time off by strategically planning your leave

## Why Use This Calculator?

Smart leave planning can double your time off. Our leave optimiser shows you the best times to take annual leave based on your roster pattern and public holidays. A few days of leave at the right time can turn into an extended break. Whether you're planning a holiday, family time, or just want to maximise your rest periods, we'll show you the optimal leave dates. See exactly how many consecutive days off you can achieve with different leave strategies.

Whether you're working FIFO, rotating shifts, or any other pattern, our calculator helps you understand exactly what you'll earn. Factor in base rates, penalty loadings, overtime, and allowances to get an accurate picture of your pay.
