How to calculate annual leave in Excel?

Author Sun Last modified

In general, when staff have been working in a company for a year, they will deserve their annual leaves. And maybe the days of annual leave will be added with the working years. But if there are hundreds or thousands of staff in your company, how could you quickly calculate their own annual leaves. Now I tell you a formula to quickly calculate the annual leave in Excel.

Now I take an example, in Company A, if you have been working here more than one year but less than ten years, you will have 5 days of annual leave; if you have been worked more than ten years but less than twenty years, you will have 10 days of annual leave; if you have been worked more than twenty years you will have 15 days of annual leave.

Now you have a table with every employee’s entry date, take the below data as instance, and type this formula =LOOKUP(DATEDIF(A1,NOW(),"Y"),{0,"less than 1 year";1,5;10,10;20,15}) into the cell next to the data, and press Enter key and drag fill handle to fill range with this formula. See screenshot:

Tip: In above formula, you can change 1,5;10,10;20,15 to meet you need.
