About the PTO/Vacation Accrual Calculator
Calculates how many PTO/vacation hours you've accrued to date from a linear per-paycheck accrual rate, your pay frequency, and how many pay periods have elapsed — then subtracts hours already used.
- Choose whether you know your annual PTO allowance or per-paycheck accrual rate directly.
- Enter your pay frequency and pay periods elapsed since your accrual year started.
- Enter PTO hours already used, and an accrual cap if applicable.
- Read your PTO hours available now.
A 120-hour annual allowance, biweekly pay, 13 periods elapsed, 16 hours used: 60.0 hours accrued, 44.0 hours available.
This models a simple linear accrual, the most common US structure. It doesn't model front-loaded PTO, tenure-based accrual-rate increases, or year-end forfeiture.
- • An accrual cap means you stop accruing until you use some down.
- • Front-loaded PTO plans grant the full year's balance upfront instead of accruing gradually.
- • A negative-balance warning means you've used more than technically accrued.
