How PTO Accrual Works

Most companies accrue PTO proportionally throughout the year. If you get 15 days annually, you earn about 1.25 days per month. The calculator pro-rates based on your actual employment dates.

Common accrual rates in the US: 10 days (entry level), 15 days (mid-career), 20+ days (senior/management).

Frequently Asked Questions

How is PTO accrual calculated?

PTO accrual = (Annual PTO days ÷ 12) × months employed. For partial months, the calculation pro-rates by days.

Do public holidays count as PTO?

No — public holidays are separate from PTO. They're automatic days off that don't reduce your PTO balance. Use our business days calculator to see holidays for your country.
