Russian Vacation Pay Calculator — Average Daily Earnings
Calculate Russian statutory vacation pay and personal income tax (NDFL) in seconds. Two modes: basic (annual total) and extended (month-by-month with excluded periods). No sign-up.
Sum of all gross accruals during the reference period (before tax)
Number of calendar days of vacation
Formula
- Average daily earnings = 12-month earnings ÷ 12 ÷ 29.3
- Vacation pay = Average daily earnings × Number of vacation days
- Income tax = Vacation pay × 13%; take-home = Vacation pay − Income tax
29.3 is the average number of calendar days in a month, fixed by article 139 of the Russian Labor Code. In extended mode the 29.3 coefficient is scaled proportionally for partially worked months.

FAQ about Russian vacation pay
How is Russian vacation pay calculated?
By the formula: Average daily earnings × Number of calendar days of vacation. When the 12-month reference period is fully worked, average daily earnings equal the sum of accruals divided by 12 and by 29.3 — the average number of calendar days in a month, fixed by article 139 of the Russian Labor Code. When the period is not fully worked, the 29.3 coefficient is scaled proportionally for partial months.
What are excluded periods?
These are periods when the employee did not actually work but kept their average earnings: prior vacation, sick leave, business trips, unpaid leave beyond the limit and similar cases. Payments for those days are not included in the average, and the days themselves are subtracted from the calendar period — otherwise the average daily earnings would be understated. Enable the «Include excluded periods» toggle to add an excluded-days field for each month.
Does the calculator apply tax deductions?
No. It uses a simplified flat 13% personal income tax rate without standard, property or other deductions. In real life, an employee entitled to deductions will see a slightly lower tax withheld and a higher take-home amount.
What is the difference between basic and extended mode?
Basic mode is a quick estimate for the typical case: you enter a single number (total 12-month earnings) and the number of vacation days. It works well for a stable salary and a fully worked reference period. Extended mode is a precise calculation with twelve monthly salary fields and an optional excluded-periods input. Use it when salary varied across months, when bonuses landed in specific months, or when the employee was sick or on business trips.
