Calendar Summary
What is a Holiday Optimiser?
A holiday optimiser (or annual leave optimiser) helps you maximise time off by placing your leave next to bank holidays/public holidays and weekends. Enter your country, annual allowance, and any additional leave dates you already plan to take. The tool then proposes the fewest workdays to convert into the longest consecutive breaks.
Key features
- UK regional support: England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland (region-specific bank holidays)
- Allowance-aware: Only new suggested leave days consume allowance; additional leave is not charged
- Smart bridges: Finds gaps between non-working days and late‑year extensions (e.g., Christmas)
- Calendar view: Visual highlights for weekends, bank holidays, additional leave, and suggested leave
It looks for non‑working clusters (weekends/bank holidays/additional leave) and finds the smallest number of workdays that create the longest consecutive break.
No. Additional Leave Dates are treated as already-agreed leave and do not consume your remaining allowance.
Yes. England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland have different bank holidays and are handled separately.
The optimiser proposes high‑value suggestions first and then fills remaining allowance with smaller bridges or extensions (e.g., before Christmas), aiming to use your full allowance.
