The PTO Accrual Calculator turns a PTO policy into hours earned. Enter yearly hours or 1 hour per X hours worked, hours per week and a pay schedule (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly or monthly), plus an optional balance, cap and hourly pay. It shows PTO earned per paycheck, month and year in hours and days, your projected balance and cap timing, and its dollar value.
It explains accrual rates like 0.0385 (multiply by 2,080) and lists BLS Employee Benefits benchmarks from March 2026 as reference text. Free, no sign-up, and nothing you type leaves your browser.
