How To Turn PTO Hours Into Days
Divide the hours by the length of your workday. With 60 hours of leave and an 8 hour day, that is 60 ÷ 8 = 7.5 days. The calculator shows the sum under the result so you can check it.
The answer is a count of workdays, so half a day is a real answer. Seven and a half days means seven full days plus four hours.
How To Turn Days Into Hours
Multiply the days by the hours in a workday. Seven and a half days at 8 hours is 60 hours. Choose the days to hours option to go this way.
This is useful when you book time off in days but your leave balance is kept in hours. Work out the hours first so you know how much your balance will drop.
Why The Length Of Your Workday Matters
The same number of hours is a different number of days for different workdays. 60 hours is 7.5 days at 8 hours and 8 days at 7.5 hours. At 12 hour shifts it is only 5 days.
Use the length of the day your employer uses to take leave off your balance. If you work four 10 hour days, a day of leave is usually 10 hours.
| Hours of leave | 8 hour day | 7.5 hour day | 10 hour day | 12 hour day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 hours | 1 | 1.07 | 0.8 | 0.67 |
| 16 hours | 2 | 2.13 | 1.6 | 1.33 |
| 24 hours | 3 | 3.2 | 2.4 | 2 |
| 40 hours | 5 | 5.33 | 4 | 3.33 |
| 60 hours | 7.5 | 8 | 6 | 5 |
| 80 hours | 10 | 10.67 | 8 | 6.67 |
| 120 hours | 15 | 16 | 12 | 10 |
Days, rounded to two decimals.
Annual Leave, Vacation And PTO
Different employers use different names for paid time away. PTO, vacation, annual leave and holiday leave all describe hours you are paid for when you do not work. Many employers keep the balance in hours, which is why a converter is handy.
The conversion is the same whatever the name. The only input that changes it is how long your normal workday is.
PTO Accrual Calculator: The Leave You Will Earn
Most employers add leave to your balance in one of two ways. Some give a fixed number of hours each pay period. Others give a small amount for every hour you work. The accrual option handles both.
For the first way, multiply the hours earned each pay period by the pay periods left. 3.08 hours across 26 biweekly pay periods is 80.08 hours. For the second way, divide the hours earned by the hours worked and multiply by the hours you will work.
As an example, 1 hour earned for every 30 hours worked, over a full-time year of 2,080 hours, earns 69.33 hours. That is 8.67 days at 8 hours a day.
Use Your Saved Hours
If you keep your time card on this site, the Use my saved hours button reads the hours you worked this year. It puts them in the accrual box. It reads them from your own device and sends them nowhere.
Hours worked so far is not the same as hours you will work by the end of the year. Add the hours you expect to work for the rest of the year to see the full amount.
Start recording hours in the time card calculator.
What This Calculator Does Not Decide
Your contract, your employer policy and the law where you work set how much leave you get. They also decide when it is paid out and whether it carries over. This calculator does none of that. It only does the arithmetic on numbers you enter.
Check your employer handbook or ask payroll for your accrual rate. If you want to see how paid leave affects your pay, the holiday pay calculator covers the pay side.
