Leave calculator: Jordan
What leave days are worth when paid out, and what unpaid leave takes off a month’s salary.
Enter the figures and press Calculate: the breakdown shows here, with the rules used.
Results are estimates for planning only, not legal, tax or payroll advice. Rates marked "estimate" are published figures Mihnaro has not confirmed; check them with the country’s tax authority, its social security body or your accountant, and your employment contract. Each rule shows its source.
Rules for Jordan and their sources
The version in force from 2026-11-01. "Verified" rules were checked against the official source named; the others are estimates to confirm.
Requires confirmation
These rules of Jordan are not applied, or are applied as estimates, because we could not confirm them from an official source yet. What is needed to add them:
- Income tax: Income tax is not entered: istd.gov.jo does not resolve from our servers, and the pages that opened earlier conflict (the 2014 text against the 2018 amendment). Needed: The current rates and personal exemptions of the Income Tax Law of 2014 as amended in 2018, and the national contribution, from istd.gov.jo.
- Hours in a work day, End of service: Not entered: the Labour Law’s text could not be read. Needed: The hours and end-of-service articles of Labour Law No. 8 of 1996 as amended.
