Turn your yearly PTO, or an hours-worked rule, into the time you earn each pay period. Then see your balance on any future date, in hours and days. No signup.
PTO is easier to plan when you know where your working hours go. If you work on a computer, Voltti tracks your real minutes in every app on Mac and Windows, with no timer to start or stop, and gives you daily and weekly reports. Focus sessions call you back with a banner when you drift, so the days before a break count. With Voltti Teams, a team lead sees who is working now and pays for real hours.
Example: you get 15 days a year, you're paid biweekly and you have 24 hours saved. In about 3 months you'll have 24 + 27.69 = 51.69 hours, or about 6.46 days.
If you earn PTO by hours worked, the math is per hour. At 1 hour for every 30 hours worked, a 40 hour week earns 40 / 30 = 1.33 hours, which is about 69 hours a year. This kind of rule is common for paid sick leave. For a single span of time, the business days calculator counts the workdays your time off covers.
PTO policies vary by employer and by state, including how time is earned, whether there is a cap and what happens to unused time. Check your handbook or HR team for your real numbers. This calculator gives an estimate, not legal or payroll advice.
Hours earned each pay period for common yearly amounts, with an 8 hour workday.
| PTO a year | Weekly | Biweekly | Semi-monthly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 days | 1.54 | 3.08 | 3.33 | 6.67 |
| 15 days | 2.31 | 4.62 | 5.00 | 10.00 |
| 20 days | 3.08 | 6.15 | 6.67 | 13.33 |
| 25 days | 3.85 | 7.69 | 8.33 | 16.67 |
| 30 days | 4.62 | 9.23 | 10.00 | 20.00 |
Turn your yearly PTO into hours, then divide by the number of paychecks you get in a year. 80 hours a year paid biweekly is 80 / 26 = 3.08 hours per paycheck. Enter your numbers above and the calculator does it for you.
It means you earn paid time off bit by bit as you work, instead of getting it all at once. Each paycheck, or each hour you work, adds a little to your balance.
Divide your hours worked by 30. At 40 hours a week that is 1.33 hours a week, or about 69 hours over 52 weeks. Part-time hours earn less, since the rate follows the hours you work.
Some employers set a most you can hold at once. When your balance reaches it, you stop earning until you use some time. Enter your cap above and the calculator stops adding PTO there and shows what you would miss.
The calculator counts full pay periods from today: every 7 days for weekly, every 14 days for biweekly, every whole month for monthly and every half month for semi-monthly. By hours worked, it counts full weeks. Your real pay dates may shift the total by one paycheck.
Your numbers stay in your browser so they're still there when you come back. Nothing is sent to a server.
If you work on a computer, yes. Voltti for Mac and Voltti for Windows record every real minute in your apps and work websites, with no timer to start or stop. If you only need to add up hours by hand, try the work hours calculator.
