Calculate your projected PTO balance, plan your vacations, and ensure you don't lose any hours due to carryover limits.
Total Projected PTO (before usage):
40 hrs
Estimated Final Year-End Balance:
Potential Hours to Use or Lose:
0 hrs
Accrual is the product of your accrual rate and the number of periods worked. To find your projected end-of-year total, use the following formula:
Total PTO = Current Balance + (Accrual Rate × Periods Remaining)
If you have 40 hours now and earn 5 hours bi-weekly with 10 periods left, you will gain 50 more hours, bringing your gross total to 90 hours before accounting for planned time off.
A carryover limit is the maximum number of unused PTO hours an employee is allowed to transfer from the current benefit year into the next year. Hours exceeding this limit are often lost.
Front-loading provides your entire annual PTO allotment at the start of the year. Accrual means you earn your time off incrementally, usually per pay period or per month worked.
In most companies, PTO does not accrue while an employee is on unpaid leave. To calculate correctly, you should reduce the number of remaining periods to exclude the weeks you will be on leave.
