# Calcular vacaciones Chile 2026 — 15 días hábiles + progresivo

Source page: https://valem.run/calculators/chile/holiday-entitlement

Under article 67 of the Chilean Labour Code a worker with more than a year of service gets 15 working days of paid annual leave (20 in Magallanes, Aysén and Palena). After ten years of work, article 68 adds one day for every three further years. Saturdays never count as leave days.

**Tax year:** 2026

## How it is calculated

Article 67: *"Los trabajadores con más de un año de servicio tendrán derecho a un feriado anual de quince días hábiles, con remuneración íntegra."* In the **Magallanes and Aysén regions and the Province of Palena** it is **twenty**.

**Saturday is always a non-working day for leave (art. 69).** Fifteen días hábiles is therefore three full Monday-to-Friday weeks, even for someone who normally works Saturdays.

**Feriado progresivo (art. 68).** Once a worker has **ten years of work**, for one or more employers, one extra day accrues for **every three new years** — 16 days at thirteen years, 19 at twenty-two. Only ten years with previous employers can be counted. A worker who leaves before a year receives proportional leave pay instead (art. 73).

## Worked example

With Work in Magallanes, Aysén or the Province of Palena of 0, this model computes Days Entitled of 0.
