60 hours of PTO is how many days?

7.5 days off.

That is at an 8-hour workday — 60 ÷ 8 = 7.5. Seven and a half days. That is 1.5 work weeks.

If your workday is not 8 hours

This is the part that trips people up. The same 60 hours buys fewer days on a long shift.

Worth knowing

60 hours is an awkward balance: it is not a round number of days at 8 hours, so half a day is usually left stranded at the end of the year.
