Frequently Asked Questions

1 What does the Paid Time Off (PTO) Calculator estimate?
It tracks current leave balances and projects future PTO accumulations over any selected period of time, factoring in custom accrual rates, caps, planned days off, and rollover rules.
2 How does the tool calculate accrued hours?
The engine breaks down your yearly accrual rate by pay period interval. For example, if you get 120 hours/year on a bi-weekly cycle (26 pay periods), you accrue $\frac{120}{26} = 4.615$ hours per pay period.
3 Does the calculator support maximum carry-over limits?
Yes. You can input custom carry-over policies to reflect corporate limits where accrued leave above a certain threshold is capped or reset at calendar year-end.
4 Can I compute the financial value of unused PTO?
Yes, by entering your base pay or hourly wage rate, the tool determines the approximate cash-out value of your accumulated leave balances.
5 Is my company's payroll or employee data stored anywhere?
No. All computations are run in your browser sandbox using javascript. No employee details, accrual structures, or wage rates are ever transmitted to external servers or logged remotely.
