Frequently asked questions

How is PTO accrual calculated?

A simple accrual model divides the annual PTO allowance by the number of accrual periods and multiplies by periods completed. Employer policies may use different rules.

Does this calculate my employer’s official balance?

No. It is an estimate based on the inputs. Your employer’s HR or payroll system and written PTO policy determine the official balance.

What if my PTO rolls over each year?

Rollover caps, expiration, front-loading and carryover rules vary by employer and location. Use the policy-specific rules rather than assuming a simple accrual formula covers them.
