Questions
Questions people ask before downloading Urlaubstage Rechner
What does the BUrlG minimum mean?
The Federal Vacation Act sets a statutory minimum of 24 working days per year, which is 20 working days on a 5-day week. Many contracts grant more, and the app works through your personal entitlement step by step.
Are my calculations stored anywhere?
Calculations and saved scenarios stay on your device. There is no sign-up required to use the app.
Is Premium a subscription?
No. Premium is a one-time purchase that unlocks the full bridge-day planner, saved scenarios, the vacation-pay and payout calculators, and removes ads.

Bigger workflow
If this app opens up a bigger problem
The app may solve a concrete job immediately. If it exposes a larger operational, web, or content problem behind it, these are the closest practical routes.
Operational systems
If the workflow behind the app reveals manual steps, approval layers, tool sprawl, or operational debt, this is where it becomes a real system.
Web platforms
If this direction points toward a portal, stronger web layer, SEO surface area, or client-facing interface, this is the closest next route.
