How much time off will you actually have by summer? Pick how your job gives PTO: a set number of hours per paycheck, hours per hours worked (like 1 hour for every 30 worked, common for sick leave), or a number of days per year. Choose how often you are paid, enter your current balance from your pay stub, and pick how many months ahead to look. You get hours earned per paycheck and per year, your future balance in hours and in days off, and how long it takes to earn one full day. Add your employer’s cap if there is one.
How it works: Everything is turned into hours per year first: hours per paycheck × paychecks per year, or hours worked per week × 52 ÷ the “per” number, or days per year × hours per workday. Future balance = current balance + yearly hours × months ÷ 12 (stopped at the cap), and days off = hours ÷ hours per workday.
