The formula

Each derived value below is computed by the Valem engine from the expression shown, in this order. Nothing else runs — there is no hidden code path.

Derived valueFieldFormula (JSONata)
Days EntitleddaysEntitled($m := $clampFloorCap($n(monthsWorked), 0, $const.monthsPerYear); $m >= $const.monthsPerYear ? $const.annualDays : $round($m * $const.daysPerMonth, 2))
Days RemainingdaysRemaining($r := daysEntitled - $n(daysTaken); $r < 0 ? 0 : $round($r, 1))

Rates and thresholds

The expressions above read these as $const. They are the figures the annual refresh replaces, so they live as data rather than being written into the formulas — which is what makes a year-on-year change a one-line diff instead of an edit to arithmetic.

Test vectors (7)

Every case is executed against this model on each build, by the Java engine and independently by a JavaScript one. A mismatch of a single cent fails the build, so the page cannot ship advertising a figure the model no longer produces.

Case 1 — N1 a full year is the 25 feriedage borger.dk states

given monthsWorked12
given daysTaken0
expect daysEntitled25

Case 2 — N2 six months earn 12,48 at the stated monthly rate

given monthsWorked6
given daysTaken0
expect daysEntitled12.48

Case 3 — N3 one month earns 2,08

given monthsWorked1
given daysTaken0
expect daysEntitled2.08

Case 4 — N4 eleven months earn 22,88, just short of the full year

given monthsWorked11
given daysTaken0
expect daysEntitled22.88

Case 5 — N5 no months earn nothing

given monthsWorked0
given daysTaken0
expect daysEntitled0

Case 6 — N6 days already taken come off the remainder

given monthsWorked12
given daysTaken10
expect daysRemaining15

Case 7 — N7 taking more than the entitlement never goes negative

given monthsWorked12
given daysTaken40
expect daysRemaining0
