Frequently asked questions

How does Leavelift turn 10 PTO days into 20+ days off?
Leavelift scans every weekend, public holiday, and school break in your region and finds the dates where a few PTO days bridge into long, continuous stretches of time off. In 2026 alone, 11 well-placed PTO days around Thanksgiving, the winter holidays, and July 4th become 28 days off.
Does Leavelift account for school breaks?
Yes. Leavelift is school-break aware: it knows typical US school calendars, so families can line trips up with spring break, summer, and winter recess instead of pulling kids out of class.
Which countries and years does Leavelift cover?
All 50 US states plus DC and every Canadian province and territory, with holiday data for each year from 2025 through 2035, so you can plan next month or three years ahead.
Is Leavelift free?
The free plan finds your best time-off windows for the current planning year. Pro ($9/month or $79/year) unlocks year-round planning, unlimited saved configurations, premium exports, and better sharing.
Do I book flights or hotels through Leavelift?
No. Leavelift is planning intelligence, not a booking site. It tells you when to go; you book wherever you normally do, usually at better prices because you planned earlier.
