How the rules work: unused hours roll over (up to the cap, if there is one) and are used oldest first. Rolled-over hours that pass their expiry are dropped at month end. Hours beyond what's available are either billed as overage or carried into next month. Not sure which rule you have? Read the rollover guide.

Results are arithmetic on the numbers you enter, not accounting advice. Nothing you type is stored.
