Wyoming PTO Payout Checker (2026)
Whether Wyoming makes an employer pay out accrued, unused vacation or PTO when a job ends, applied to your own hours and rate.
Wyoming PTO payout checker
The accrued, unused balance on your last pay stub or in the HR portal. One vacation day is usually 8 hours.
Salaried? Divide your annual salary by 2,080 (52 weeks of 40 hours) for an hourly figure.
In Wyoming, what the handbook, offer letter, or contract says about unused vacation at separation is what controls. Read it before counting on a payout, and keep a copy: a promise in writing is what makes the amount collectible.
Enter your unused hours and your rate to see the Wyoming rule on your numbers.
When the final check itself is due is a separate deadline: the Wyoming final paycheck checker shows it for a quit and for a firing.
Informational only, not legal advice. Sick leave, commissions, and bonuses follow different rules, and collective bargaining agreements can change the answer. For the timing rules and citations on the check itself, see the Wyoming final paycheck reference; this record is cited to Wyo. Stat. §27-4-501(a)(iii); §27-4-104.
How the Wyoming rule works
Wyoming's default is that accrued vacation counts as wages payable when employment ends. An employer avoids the payout only through a written forfeiture policy the employee acknowledged in writing. Accrued vacation is excluded from the wage definition only when written policies provide that it is forfeited at termination and the employee acknowledged those policies in writing; without both elements it is due with final wages.
This checker states the rule and prices your unused hours; it is informational only and not legal advice, and it does not decide whether your employer owes you. The other half of the question, when the final check itself must arrive, is covered by the Wyoming final paycheck checker and the Wyoming final paycheck reference.
