    Hi everyone, thanks for sharing how important automated holiday pay calculations are for you.

    We’re updating the status of this idea to Accepted to show it's formally on our radar.

    While we’ve already explored several options to automate holiday pay calculations, for the time being this is not a feature we have planned in our roadmap.

    We understand some of you are managing these calculations manually. We’d suggest running the Payroll Activity Summary or Gross to Net report over a 52 week period to assist with these calculations.

    We’re grateful for your feedback and will continue to monitor interest here.

    I don’t understand how this isn’t a higher priority. Every single payroll user in the UK requires this by law, and we’re currently having to calculate it manually. There’s been no update since August 2024 — can we please get some clarity on when this will be addressed?

    Has anyone heard any updates from Xero about this being adapted for the UK?
    Specifically, I'm wondering if there's been any progress on making it possible to calculate average holiday pay based on the previous time period.

    I've been searching for a better solution for over a year now. At the moment, I’m still stuck manually calculating everything in a spreadsheet and making individual adjustments each month for each employee — it’s incredibly time-consuming.

    I keep hearing that systems like BrightPay and BrightHR can handle this automatically. Has anyone had any luck with Xero introducing something similar, or found a good workaround?
