Converting hours to days
PTO is usually tracked in hours, but you plan time off in days. Divide your hours by the length of your workday to get days, then divide days by five for work weeks. On a standard 8-hour schedule, 80 hours is 10 days — two weeks off. Adjust the hours-per-day field for part-time or compressed schedules.
Curious what those hours are worth in cash? The PTO payout calculator converts your balance into a gross and net dollar amount. For more conversions and payout questions, see the PTO FAQ.
