I will be on leave vs i am on leave

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'I will be on leave' is used to refer to a future absence, while 'I am on leave' indicates a current absence. So, the choice between the two phrases depends on if you're talking about a leave that will happen in the future or one that's currently ongoing.
