PTO Payout Calculator
Estimate the gross value of PTO hours using an hourly pay rate.
How the estimate works
Enter the values supplied by your employer, written policy, or work record. The result updates in your browser and is not saved.
Formula
Estimated gross PTO value = eligible PTO hours × hourly pay rate.
Worked example
Inputs: 40 eligible PTO hours and a $25 hourly pay rate.
Result: 40 × $25 = $1,000.00 estimated gross PTO value.
How to read the result
This is a gross value only. Whether hours are eligible, which pay rate applies, and whether payout is required depend on the employer's policy and applicable state law.
Important limitations
- The calculator does not decide whether federal or state law requires a payout.
- It does not determine eligibility, forfeiture, caps, or which compensation components belong in the pay rate.
- Taxes, benefits, and payroll deductions are not subtracted.
