| **Used** | Vacation days used so far this year. |
| **Remaining** | Vacation days remaining as of today. This is calculated as vacation days minus used vacation days. |

### How are available vacation days calculated?

The balance is calculated based on vacation days, used vacation days, and planned vacation.

Vacation days − used vacation days − planned vacation days = available vacation days

## Important to know about planned vacation

A vacation request is not counted as planned vacation until it has been approved.
