PTO Hours to Days Calculator
To turn PTO hours into days, divide the hours by the length of your workday. With an 8-hour workday, 40 hours of PTO is 5 days, 80 hours is 10 days, and 120 hours is 15 days. With a 7.5-hour workday, the same 40 hours is 5.33 days. Enter your own numbers below; nothing assumes an 8-hour day.
Convert PTO hours to days
40 hours of PTO is
5.00 days
That is 1.00 weeks with a 8-hour workday and 5-day workweek.
Rounded to two decimals. Days follow the workday you entered; nothing assumes 8 hours.
How the conversion works
- Days = PTO hours ÷ hours in your workday.
- Weeks = PTO hours ÷ (hours in your workday × workdays per week).
Results are rounded to two decimals for display. If your employer counts partial days differently, for example only in half days, follow that rule.
Common conversions
| PTO hours | Days at 8 h | Weeks at 8 h | Days at 7.5 h |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 1.00 | 0.20 | 1.07 |
| 16 | 2.00 | 0.40 | 2.13 |
| 40 | 5.00 | 1.00 | 5.33 |
| 80 | 10.00 | 2.00 | 10.67 |
| 120 | 15.00 | 3.00 | 16.00 |
| 160 | 20.00 | 4.00 | 21.33 |
Synthetic examples. They show the arithmetic only; your policy may count days differently.
Days back to hours
Multiply the days by the hours in your workday. Two days off with a 7.5-hour workday is 15 hours. Two weeks off with an 8-hour day and a 5-day week is 80 hours. If you work 10-hour days, four days off already uses 40 hours.
