About

PTO Calculator Hub provides free calculators and reference material for common paid time off questions: how much PTO you accrue per pay period, what your unused hours are worth in dollars, how to convert between hours and days, and how holiday pay rates work.

PTO policies are often confusing. Accrual caps, payout rules, and state laws vary widely. This site exists to make that information accessible without requiring a call to HR or a payroll specialist.

What this site includes

Where the data comes from

Every calculator on this site is built on established payroll formulas used by HR departments and payroll providers. Our calculation logic is based on:

  • Standard accrual formulas recognized by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM)
  • IRS supplemental wage withholding guidelines (Publication 15)
  • State-specific labor codes and department of labor regulations
  • Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data on average leave benefits

We regularly review our calculations against updates to federal and state labor laws. When laws change (as sick leave mandates frequently do), we update our tools and content accordingly.
