PTO & Final Paycheck Calculators
Use this PTO conversion calculator to convert paid time off between hours, days, weeks, and estimated pay value. It can also help with vacation and sick leave time math when your records use different units.
Estimate only: This calculator or guide provides an estimate or general information only and is not legal, tax, payroll, or financial advice. PTO, vacation, sick leave, payout, final paycheck, and tax results can depend on state law, employer policy, employment agreement, payroll rules, tax rules, deductions, and individual facts. Verify with official sources, your employer, or a qualified professional.

Convert PTO, vacation, or sick leave between hours, days, weeks, and an estimated pay value using the schedule values you enter.
Choose the conversion type that matches your records, then enter the PTO, vacation, or sick leave amount you want to convert. The calculator uses the hours-per-workday or hours-per-workweek values you enter.
This page converts time units and can estimate gross dollar value. It does not decide whether PTO, vacation, or sick leave must be paid out.
PTO days = PTO hours / hours per workday.
If you have 40 PTO hours and your workday is 8 hours, the conversion is 40 / 8 = 5 PTO days.
PTO hours = PTO days x hours per workday.
For example, 3 PTO days at 8 hours per day equals 24 PTO hours. If your regular workday is shorter or longer, use that schedule value instead.
Estimated gross PTO value = PTO hours x hourly rate.
This is a gross estimate before withholding, deductions, employer policy review, and any state-law or payroll-rule questions.
Example: if you have 40 PTO hours and your normal workday is 8 hours, the conversion is 40 / 8 = 5 PTO days.
If those 40 hours may be paid at $25 per hour, the gross estimated value is 40 x $25 = $1,000 before withholding or deductions.
The math for converting hours to days can look the same for PTO, vacation, and sick leave. The policy treatment may be different.
If you are deciding what can be paid out, compare the conversion with your handbook and the PTO vs vacation pay guide. Do not assume sick leave pays out unless the policy or applicable rule clearly says so.
Divide PTO hours by the number of hours in your normal workday. For example, 40 PTO hours divided by an 8-hour workday equals 5 PTO days.
Many full-time schedules use 8 hours as one workday, but your employer may use a different value for part-time, shift-based, or alternative schedules.
Multiply PTO days by hours per workday. For example, 3 PTO days multiplied by 8 hours per day equals 24 PTO hours.
Multiply PTO hours by the hourly rate used for payout. The result is a gross estimate before withholding, deductions, and policy review.
Often, yes. Part-time employees may have shorter workdays, different accrual rules, or different schedules, so enter the hours-per-day value that matches your records.
The time math may be similar, but sick leave and vacation can be treated differently under employer policy and state or local rules.
Use the PTO payout calculator for gross and net payout estimates, the PTO accrual calculator for earned-balance estimates, or the final paycheck calculator if you are leaving a job.
