PTO Hours to Days Converter
Your PTO balance is almost always shown in hours, but you think about time off in days. This free converter does the math both ways — just enter a number and set your workday length. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
How to Convert PTO Hours to Days
The formula is simple: divide your PTO hours by the number of hours in your workday.
- Hours to days: PTO hours ÷ hours per day. Example: 80 ÷ 8 = 10 days.
- Days to hours: PTO days × hours per day. Example: 5 × 8 = 40 hours.
Most full-time US jobs use an 8-hour workday, but if you work four 10-hour days or part-time shifts, change the "hours per workday" field to match. A 10-hour workday means 80 hours of PTO is only 8 days, not 10.
