How it is calculated

The tool works in days, not hours: regular pay = daily rate × days worked, vacation payout = daily rate × unused vacation days, final pay = regular pay + vacation payout. The daily rate is in dollars per working day and can be a decimal, as can the day counts (half-days such as 6.5 work). If you are paid hourly, multiply your hourly rate by the hours in a working day first. The result is a gross figure: income tax, social contributions, deductions, severance and notice pay are not included, and the tool does not check whether your location requires unused leave to be paid out. No input may be negative.

Worked example

Daily rate 180, 9 days worked in the last pay period, 6.5 unused vacation days. Regular pay = 180 × 9 = $1,620.00. Vacation payout = 180 × 6.5 = $1,170.00. Final pay = 1,620 + 1,170 = $2,790.00. This is before any tax or deductions, so the amount that reaches the bank account will be lower.

Common mistakes

  • Entering an hourly rate in the daily-rate field. This tool multiplies by days, so convert first: hourly rate times the hours in your normal working day.
  • Dividing a monthly salary by 30 for the daily rate. Use the number of working days your employer actually uses, which is often not 30.
  • Counting calendar days, including weekends, as days worked. Only paid working days belong in that field.
  • Reading the result as take-home pay. It is gross: tax, social contributions and deductions still come out.
  • Assuming unused leave must always be paid out. Rules differ by country, region and contract, so check yours before relying on the payout figure.

About this calculator

A final paycheck is more than just the wages owed for the last days worked — in many places it must also include a cash payout for any accrued but unused vacation or paid-time-off (PTO) the employee had banked, calculated by multiplying the unused days by the employee's daily rate.

This calculator works in days: you enter the daily rate, the days worked in the final pay period and the unused vacation days, and it adds regular wages to the vacation payout to produce the full amount owed on separation, whether the employee resigned, was laid off, or was terminated. If you track time in hours, enter the hourly rate and the hours instead. It's a practical tool for payroll and HR staff closing out an employee's final pay, and for employees who want to double-check that their last check reflects everything they're owed.
