How we worked this out
- Unused: 18 days given minus 10 taken minus 0 you can keep = 8 days.
- Daily pay: ₹60,000 ÷ 30 = ₹2,000.
- Value: 8 days × ₹2,000 = ₹16,000.
- How much it matters to you: 7 out of 10. It only changes the order on your statement.

How it works
We take the leave you get, minus what you've taken and what you can carry over or cash in. What's left lapses.
We value each day at your monthly pay divided by 30, a simple rule of thumb.

Questions people ask
Can I cash in my leave instead?
Some companies allow it, some don't. Your leave policy says. Put any days you can keep in the box, and we'll leave them out.
What if I'm too busy to take leave?
Most people feel that way. Booking one day now, even a Friday, is easier than finding a whole week later.
