How it works?
The Vacation Optimizer analyzes your country's public holidays, weekends, and selected vacation windows to find the best way to place your vacation days. The result is three different strategies.
Three optimization schemes
- Maximum Leverage — finds spots where 1-2 vacation days create the longest consecutive free period. Ideal for short breaks throughout the year.
- The Long Haul — groups all days into one single long consecutive block. Perfect for complete rest and travel.
- Balanced — distributes days across preferred period lengths, respecting priority order and employer rules.
How to use
- Select country and year — the app loads public holidays automatically.
- Enter your vacation days count.
- Drag on the calendar to mark allowed vacation windows.
- Add mandatory employer rules (e.g. at least one 14-day period).
- Click 'Optimize vacation' — you'll see three schemes with 'Days Won' statistics.
Frequently asked questions
What does 'Days Won' mean?
Days Won = total consecutive days off minus vacation days spent. For example, if 2 vacation days give you a 9-day break (Fri-Sat-Sun + 2 vacation days + Tue-Wed-Thu-Fri), you won 7 days. Public holidays and weekends do not consume vacation days.
Do public holidays use up vacation days?
No. Public holidays are automatically free days that do not deduct from your vacation balance. This is why placing vacation days around public holidays is especially efficient.
What are mandatory rules and how do they work?
Your employer may require that at least one vacation period meets a minimum length — for example, in Estonia one period must be at least 14 calendar days. Add a rule by entering the minimum period length. The optimizer ensures no scheme violates this requirement. The sum of all rules must not exceed your total vacation days.
What do 'Allowed vacation windows' do?
By dragging on the calendar you mark periods when you are able to take vacation. Allowed windows restrict the optimization — vacation is only placed within marked ranges. If no windows are marked and you click 'Optimize', a warning is shown. Mark at least one allowed period on the calendar to run the optimization.
Why is the 'Balanced' scheme useful?
This scheme splits vacation into multiple blocks according to your preferences (e.g. 14 days, 7 days, 4 days, 3 days). It suits people who want both a long summer break and several shorter breaks throughout the year.
