Vacation hours to days
Turn vacation or PTO hours into days, or days into hours. You set the hours in a workday, so it works for 8-hour, 10-hour and 12-hour schedules.
Not legal, tax or payroll advice. General information only; results are estimates. Read the full notice.
Example: 92 hours with a 10-hour workday is 9.20 days, or 9 days and 2 h.

Questions
Why does the workday length matter?
The same 80 hours is 10 days of 8 hours but 8 days of 10 hours.
What does the whole days and hours line show?
It splits the answer into complete days and the hours left over, like 9 days and 2 h for this page's example.
Can I type half days?
Yes. Type 7.5 and the tool handles the decimal.
