Worked example on the page defaults

Starting from the values this page loads (Accrued, unused PTO hours = 96, Hourly rate ($) = 32, State = AK, Cap in policy (hours, 0 = none) = 0), the calculator reports: Payout at full balance, Payout if a cap applies, State rule. Change one field and every line updates on your device; nothing is sent to the server, and the result feeds the paired generator with the fields already typed.

PTO & Vacation Payout: Freeze the balance in writing before your last day: hours, accrual rate, and any cap in the plan.

Read the window for your state and confirm the current text with the agency named on the page: California PTO Payout, Colorado PTO Payout, Illinois PTO Payout, all 50 state pages.
