# 带薪年休假计算 2026 — China annual leave 5 / 10 / 15 days

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

Under China’s Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees, an employee who has worked for at least one year cumulatively gets 5 days of paid annual leave, 10 days from 10 years and 15 days from 20 years, counting service with every employer.

**Tax year:** 2026

## How it is calculated

Article 3 of the State Council’s **Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees** (职工带薪年休假条例): *“职工累计工作已满1年不满10年的，年休假5天；已满10年不满20年的，年休假10天；已满20年的，年休假15天。”* — **5 days** from one year, **10** from ten, **15** from twenty.

**Cumulative, not with this employer.** The years are your total working years (累计工作年限), so someone with eleven years behind them starts a new job on 10 days, not 5 — though article 2 first requires a year of continuous work. Public holidays and rest days are not counted against the leave.

**When the leave is lost.** Article 4 removes the year’s leave for an employee who has winter and summer vacations longer than it, takes 20 or more days of personal leave on which the employer did not dock pay, or has long sick leave. Leave the employer does not arrange is paid at **300%** of the daily wage — including the normal day’s pay, so 200% extra. A new joiner’s first year is pro-rated by the days left in the calendar year under the 2008 implementing measures, which this page does not model.

## Worked example

With Cumulative years worked of 1, this model computes Days Entitled of 5.

The Valem engine reproduces this model's formula through 8 self-test cases. That shows internal consistency, not that the formula matches current law; the cited sources are the evidence for that. Estimate, not tax advice.
