Why choose our Staff Leave Planner?

Built for however your 2026 leave year works

Every 2026 leave planner below is the same spreadsheet our customers have used for 20+ years — not one of the brittle templates you'll find floating around online.

A1

Formulas that don't break

However busy the year gets, entering leave by typing, dragging or right-clicking never corrupts a cell.

B1

Days or hours, your choice

Set the whole leave planner to track in days, hours, or a mix — whatever your contracts need.

C1

Reports without a reporting tool

Individual and team leave reports are already built in and export in a click.

D1
🌍

Bank holidays already mapped in

National holidays for over 20 countries are pre-loaded for the year, and fully editable if yours isn't listed.

Questions about the 2026 leave planners
