Accrued leave
Chargeable leave credited to a Marine and shown on official pay records. The calculator keeps this value separate for transparent review.
Formula used
Daily basic-pay rate = Monthly basic pay ÷ 30
Eligible sale days = lesser of requested days, available balance, and remaining career limit
Gross leave payment = Eligible sale days × Daily basic-pay rate
Taxable payment = Gross payment − qualifying CZTE amount
Estimated net = Gross − federal − state − FICA − additional withholding − other deductions − debt offsets
Basic pay drives the leave settlement. BAH, BAS, incentive pay, bonuses, and special pay do not increase the sell-back amount.
How to use this calculator
- Choose the component, grade, and creditable service shown by official records.
- Use the exact 2026 table or enter an official historical monthly basic-pay amount.
- Enter ordinary leave, approved SLA, planned terminal leave, and previously sold career days.
- Select the personnel transaction and separation characterization that fit the case.
- Complete every SLA confirmation only when documentation supports it.
- Enter CZTE days only when earned-month records support the exclusion.
- Adjust withholding rates and known government debt or collection amounts.
- Add BAH, BAS, and continuing special pay only for terminal-leave comparison.
- Calculate, review warnings, then download the CSV or PDF summary.
- Take the report to the administration section or IPAC for official verification.

Understanding Marine leave sell-back planning
Use basic pay, not total compensation
A leave settlement is modeled from monthly basic pay. Housing, subsistence, bonuses, and special pays are excluded. The calculator keeps those amounts outside the sale formula. It uses them only when comparing terminal leave. This separation prevents an inflated sell-back estimate.
Check the career limit before choosing days
Previously sold leave matters. Enter the career total from reliable records. The calculator subtracts that amount from the normal sixty-day limit. It then checks requested days against the remaining entitlement and current balance. Excess days appear as rejected days.
Treat SLA as a documented exception
Special Leave Accrual requires more than a large leave balance. The page asks whether SLA was approved, whether qualifying leave would otherwise be lost, whether the one-time election was already used, and whether the Marine belongs to an eligible component. These controls reduce accidental inclusion.
Separate tax exemption from withholding
Combat-zone leave requires earned-month records. Enter only the days supported by those records. The calculator separates an estimated tax-exempt amount from taxable gross pay. Commissioned-officer exclusions can be capped. FICA is shown separately because income-tax exclusion and payroll-tax treatment are different questions.
Compare cash with time
Selling leave creates a lump-sum basic-pay value. Taking terminal leave may continue monthly basic pay and selected allowances. It can also permit civilian earnings during approved leave. The comparison therefore shows three scenarios: sell all eligible days, take all days as terminal leave, or use the entered hybrid plan.
Verify every result
The report is a planning worksheet. It cannot inspect MOL, an LES, orders, prior settlements, debt records, tax elections, or command approval. Provide the exported summary to the servicing administration office. Official systems and authorities control the final payment.
Frequently asked questions
Does BAH increase sold-leave value?
No. The sale estimate uses basic pay only. BAH is available solely for terminal-leave comparison.
Can I sell more than sixty career days?
The calculator applies the normal sixty-day career limit. Verify any statutory exception with IPAC.
Can officers use the one-time SLA option?
The referenced Marine Corps guidance limits that election to qualifying enlisted Marines.
Why can I enter half-days?
Military leave balances may include half-day increments. The calculator preserves those increments.
Are taxes exact?
No. They are adjustable withholding estimates. Final tax liability depends on the complete tax return.
What happens with government debt?
The entered debt offset reduces estimated net payment dollar for dollar.
Does terminal leave require approval?
Yes. This tool compares values but cannot approve leave or confirm continued entitlements.
Where should I verify the result?
Check the LES and MOL, then contact the administration section or local IPAC.
