How to convert hours to working days

The calculator also shows whole days + leftover hours and the equivalent number of 5-day work weeks so you can paste the right format into your timesheet, PTO tracker, or project plan.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about converting hours to work days.
Divide total hours by hours per workday. Example: 100 hours ÷ 8 hours/day = 12.5 working days. Change the hours-per-day input to match your schedule — 6, 7, 8, 10, or 12 are the most common.
40 hours equals 5 working days on a standard 8-hour schedule, or 4 days on a 10-hour schedule. On a 6-hour part-time schedule it would be about 6.67 working days.
On a standard 8-hour workday, 100 hours equals 12.5 work days. On a 10-hour workday that’s exactly 10 days, and on a 12-hour workday it’s about 8.33 days. The calculator lets you enter any custom hours-per-day value if your schedule differs.
80 hours of paid time off equals 10 work days on an 8-hour schedule. That’s a common two-week vacation allotment at most full-time US employers. On a 10-hour workday it would be 8 days, and on a 12-hour shift it’s about 6.67 days.
