This calculator counts the vacation an employee in Colombia has earned and still has to take, and what those days are worth, from the Código Sustantivo del Trabajo in the Ministry of ICT's official legal compilation.
A worked example. A salary of 3,000,000 pesos from 1 February 2025 to 30 September 2026 is 600 days in the 30-day count, which earns 25 vacation days. With 15 days taken, 10 are owed, worth 10 × 100,000 = 1,000,000 pesos.
Leaving the job. The full final settlement, with the prima, cesantías, interest, vacation and any severance, is in the Colombia final settlement calculator.
The rest of the article, and all 6 questions about Colombia Vacation Calculator (Vacaciones), are on the Colombia Vacation Calculator (Vacaciones) page.
Article 186 of the Código Sustantivo del Trabajo gives 15 consecutive working days of paid vacation for each year of service. Days are earned in proportion to the time worked, so six months of work earns 7.5 days, and the leave itself is counted in working days, not calendar days.
Multiply the days owed by the monthly ordinary salary divided by 30. Article 192 takes the salary on the day the vacation starts and leaves out overtime and pay for work on rest days; a variable salary uses the average of the previous year. Ten days on 3,000,000 pesos are 1,000,000 pesos.
Yes. Law 995 of 2005 says workers whose contract ends before they earned a full year's vacation are compensated in money in proportion to the time actually worked. Days earned in earlier years and never taken are paid too, all on the last salary, as article 189 says.
Only up to half. Article 189 lets employer and worker agree in writing, at the worker's request, to pay up to half of the vacation in money. The other half must be taken as rest, and article 190 requires at least 6 working days of rest every year.
