Work out how much is deducted from your salary if you take unpaid vacation or leave in Norway, based on your annual salary and number of days.
The deduction per day is calculated from 260 working days a year (5 days a week × 52 weeks) — a common, simplified divisor many Norwegian employers use to calculate a daily-pay deduction for unpaid absence. If you take 5 days of unpaid vacation with an annual salary of 550,000 kr, the deduction is 550,000 ÷ 260 × 5 ≈ 10,577 kr.
260 is a common simplified estimate of the number of working days in a year (5 days a week × 52 weeks), and is often used as a divisor when employers work out what one day's absence costs in salary.
The right to leave (for example for education, caregiving or other purposes) follows from Norway's Working Environment Act and any agreements, but the leave is generally unpaid unless something else has been specifically agreed or follows from law, such as parental leave covered by NAV.
No. Holiday pay is normally earned from taxable employment income. If you take unpaid vacation, you don't receive salary for that period, and therefore don't earn holiday pay for those days either.
