About Calculator

The Vacation Planner identifies the best bridge days around public holidays so you can maximize consecutive days off while using as few paid-leave days as possible.

The algorithm scans the holiday calendar for the selected country and year, then finds clusters where a small number of PTO days yields a long weekend or multi-day break. The efficiency multiplier shows how many total days off you get per leave day used.

This is particularly valuable in European countries like Poland, Germany, and France where strategic bridge-day planning can turn 2–3 leave days into 9–10 consecutive days off.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which countries are supported?

Currently the planner supports Poland, Germany, France, Spain, and the UK. Each country uses its official statutory holiday calendar.

What is the efficiency multiplier?

It's the ratio of total days off gained to PTO days spent. For example, spending 1 PTO day to get 4 days off gives a 4.0× multiplier.

Does it account for company-specific holidays?

No, only official national public holidays are included. You may have additional company or regional holidays.
