Make every PTO day count
Most people take PTO without thinking about the surrounding calendar. By placing days off next to public holidays and weekends, you can dramatically increase your total time away without using extra leave.
Set your available PTO, pick a strategy, and the calculator ranks each opportunity by how many days off it produces per PTO day spent — then builds a recommended plan that fits your budget. Each opportunity now shows a visual timeline and an ROI summary so you can see exactly what you get for each PTO day.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a PTO calculator?
- A PTO (paid time off) calculator helps you decide which days to book off work. This one focuses on placement: it lines your PTO days up with public holidays and weekends so each day off stretches further.
- How many days off can I get from my PTO?
- It depends on the calendar. By bridging holidays that fall near a weekend, it is common to turn 10 PTO days into 20 or more days away across the year. The calculator shows your exact efficiency ratio.
- Which countries are supported?
- The PTO calculator supports the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, India, Germany and France, using official public holiday data for each.
- Is the PTO calculator private?
- Yes. All calculations run in your browser. Your PTO planning stays on your device and is never uploaded.
