PTO payout calculator

When you leave a job, an unused PTO balance may be worth a final paycheck — but only if your employer's policy or your state's law requires it. This estimates the dollar value of that balance and flags whether a payout is likely required where you work.

Whether unused vacation must be paid out is state-specific — some states treat it as earned wages, others leave it to the employer's policy. See the payout laws by state reference, and use the main accrual calculator to find your balance first. These figures are estimates, not legal or payroll advice.
