We use 260 working days per year (52 weeks × 5 days). Value per day = annual salary ÷ 260. Value per hour = value per day ÷ 8. Total value = value per day × number of PTO days. This matches how employers typically calculate vacation payout. PTO cash-out is taxable wages; days taken as vacation are not.

Value per day = annual salary ÷ 260 working days. At $72,000/year, each PTO day ≈ $277. 10 unused days = $2,770. The calculator uses 260 days (52 weeks × 5 days). Use it to compare: take vacation vs cashing out.
Depends. Cash-out is taxable income; vacation is tax-free time off. If you need rest, take the days—burnout costs more. If your employer pays out at termination and you're leaving, factor that in. Use the calculator to see the dollar value.
Annual salary ÷ 260 working days. $60,000/year = $231/day. $100,000/year = $385/day. Some employers use 2080 hours ÷ 8 = 260 days. Salaried workers: same formula. Hourly: (hourly rate × 8) per day.
Yes. PTO payout is taxable wages—federal, state, FICA apply. You may receive 65–75% after taxes. Vacation days taken are not taxable. The calculator shows gross value; net will be less after tax.
Daily rate = annual salary ÷ 260 working days. $75,000 ÷ 260 ≈ $288.46 per day. 10 PTO days = $2,885; 15 days = $4,327. Some employers use 2080 hours ÷ 8 = 260 days. Use the calculator with your salary and days for exact value.
