Make your calculation personal
The example assumes 1 Jan 2027 is the first work day of a 14/14 cycle, with every calendar day belonging to either duty or rest. Your roster may differ due to travel, public holidays or employer rules.
Enter a confirmed work-block start date before using the results to plan leave. Taking leave on a duty day does not automatically guarantee time off; approval and how leave is charged depend on your employer.
