How to Calculate Your Holiday Pay
The standard formula for calculating holiday pay in Ireland is:
Holiday Pay = Hourly Wage × Hours Worked × 2
Example: Worker in Ireland
A worker in Ireland earning €25/hour working 8 hours on a public holiday:
- Holiday rate at 2x: €25 × 2 = €50.00/hour
- Holiday pay: €50.00 × 8 hours = €400.00
- Regular pay would be: €25 × 8 = €200.00
- Extra premium earned: €200.00
Key Considerations for Ireland
- Check your employment contract for specific holiday pay entitlements
- Collective agreements may specify higher rates than statutory minimums
- Some industries may have additional holiday work restrictions
- Compensatory time off may be offered instead of or in addition to premium pay
