PTO Calculator
Project your future PTO balance from your current balance, accrual rate, and planned time off.
How the calculation works
Most employers accrue PTO a fixed number of hours each pay period rather than granting it all at once. To project your balance on a future date, multiply your per-period accrual rate by the number of pay periods between now and then, add that to your current balance, then subtract any time off you've already got planned. This won't reflect any employer-specific PTO caps ('use it or lose it' limits) that stop accrual once you hit a ceiling.
Formula
Accrued PTO = Accrual Rate × Pay Periods Remaining. Projected Balance = Current Balance + Accrued PTO − Hours Planned to Use.
Examples
40 hrs balance, 3.08 hrs/period, 10 periods left, 16 hrs planned
54.8 hrs projected balance (30.8 hrs accrued)
0 hrs balance, 6.67 hrs/period, 6 periods left, 0 hrs planned
40.02 hrs projected balance
