Here's How You Can Triple Your PTO Days for 2025
08.01.2025 - 10:35 / matadornetwork.com / Martin Luther
If you’re sitting close to a colleague, you might want to dim your screen when reading this because if you’re smart with planning your PTO next year, you could triple the consecutive days off by timing it with federal holidays and long weekends. Although I feel like I’m whispering this while writing, there’s nothing sneaky going on here, and it’s your right to plan your vacation time. Just do it wisely, and you could start with 16 days off and finish with 55.
There are different approaches to strategically taking your PTO. Some opt for the all-in-one approach taking the block of time to get away from screens and completely disconnect. There’s a lot of value in that. It can seriously help your mental health, but some might find that they return to an overgrown jungle of emails and duties, which can feel overwhelming. The other is to take mircocations, which can be beneficial not only to break up the year but also help you balance your budget with small mini getaways.
For the latter, the math wizards at USA Today shared the trick this week. All you need to do is look at federal holidays, which make three-day weekends, and tag on days on either side. But you’re going to have to move on this because the first opportunity to spin a long weekend into a five-day getaway lands on the first of January — and you know Karen from accounting crunched these numbers and booked that off in June. Also, pay close attention to Thanksgiving and Christmas 2025 because if you play your cards right, you could end up with nine consecutive days off for the price of three or four (depending on your company’s vacation day calendar).
According to USA Today, this is the formula you need to follow to get the most out of your PTO in 2025:
New Year’s Day — Wednesday, January 1
Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Birthday, January 20
Presidents Day — Monday, February 17
Memorial Day — Monday, May 26
Juneteenth National Independence Day — Thursday, June 19
Independence Day — Friday, July 4
Labor Day — Monday, September 1
Indigenous Peoples Day — Monday, October 13
Veterans Day — Tuesday, November 11
Thanksgiving Day — Thursday, November 27
Christmas Day — Thursday, December 25
