Many workplaces accrue paid time off gradually rather than granting it all at the start of the year, which means the exact number of days you've actually earned so far depends on how long you've worked and your specific accrual rate.
Enter your monthly accrual rate (found on a pay stub or in your employee handbook), how many months you've worked so far this year, and any days already used, and this calculator shows your total accrued days and what's currently available.
This is useful for planning time off without accidentally requesting more days than you've actually accrued, or double-checking your employer's PTO balance calculation against your own math.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my accrual rate?
It's typically listed on your pay stub, in your employee handbook, or available from your HR department — often expressed as days or hours accrued per pay period or month.
Does this account for a lump-sum PTO grant instead of gradual accrual?
This calculator is designed for gradual monthly accrual; if your employer grants all PTO upfront at the start of the year, this calculation wouldn't apply the same way.
