How much PTO do I earn per paycheck with 5 days a year?

With 5 paid days off a year of 8 hours and a 40-hour week, you earn 1.54 PTO hours every two weeks. That is 40 PTO hours a year over 26 biweekly paychecks, or 1 hour off for every 52 hours you work.

Figures are rounded to two places (the rate to four). Your employer’s policy decides the rate, the cap and when PTO starts to accrue, and its payroll may round differently.
