Leave Stacker is a simple UK annual leave planner that helps you find the best dates to book off work by stacking your leave around public holidays, weekends, and non-working days.
The aim is simple: help you get the longest possible break while using the fewest days of annual leave.
Most people have a limited number of holiday days each year, so it pays to choose them carefully. By booking annual leave around UK bank holidays, you can often turn a small number of leave days into a much longer stretch away from work.
Leave Stacker does the date-checking for you, helping you quickly spot the best opportunities.
Leave Stacker is currently designed for the UK only.
Because public holidays vary depending on where you live and work, you can filter results by UK country:
This helps make the results more relevant to the bank holidays that apply to you.
Not everyone works Monday to Friday, so Leave Stacker lets you choose which days of the week you normally work.
Whether you work a standard weekday pattern, part-time hours, or a different schedule, the tool can take your working days into account when suggesting leave options.
You can select the year you want to plan for and choose how many days of annual leave you want to use.
Leave Stacker then helps you find date ranges where your chosen amount of leave can create the longest possible time off.
When you find dates you like, you can add them to your stack.
Your stack helps you keep track of the leave dates you’re interested in, so you can review them before deciding what to do next. Once you’ve built your stack, you can use it to:
This makes it easier to go from finding the best dates to actually requesting and planning your time off.
A super stack is when you get at least 5x as much time off as the annual leave you book.
For example, if you book 1 day of leave and get 5 days off in total, that’s a super stack.
Super stacks usually happen when annual leave lines up perfectly with weekends, public holidays, or your regular non-working days. They’re the best opportunities to make your holiday allowance go much further.
Leave Stacker can help you:
Leave Stacker is intended as a helpful planning guide. Bank holidays, employer policies, shift patterns, part-time contracts, and annual leave rules can vary.
Always confirm your leave dates with your employer before booking travel, accommodation, or making firm plans.
