How to Calculate Terminal Leave for the Navy
Terminal leave is the use of remaining leave by a retiring or separating Navy service member immediately prior to her retirement or separation date. Sailors earn 30 days of leave time -- permission to be away from their units -- per year. A sailor can accrue leave time and use it at the end of his service as a means of early separation. During this time of terminal leave, the sailor continues to draw a regular paycheck.
