How this calculator works (and its limits)

This tool offers three common accrual models and uses calendar math to estimate totals. "Per hour worked" assumes a steady weekly schedule; "per pay period" counts elapsed periods (weekly/biweekly precisely; semi‑monthly is approximated as two periods per entire month); "annual" distributes the yearly allotment evenly over the year. Because employers implement accrual and caps differently, treat results as estimates for planning only.
