How much PTO a year is normal?

10 days of a PTO a year is normal, if you work in the private industry and have worked with your current employer for at least 1 year. In most cases, the amount of PTO days an employee receives each year relates to how many years they've worked for their employer, whether they're employed in the private industry or via the government, and the industry they work in.

The size of a company also plays a significant role in the proportion of the workforce that gets PTO days. Bigger companies (500+ employees) provide 92% of their workers with PTO days, while smaller companies (1-49 workers) provide only 71% of their workers with PTO days.
