How exactly does Unlimited Time Off work?

Hello. I’m a manager at a company. I have about 10 direct reports and due to the nature of our work, it’s pretty easy to guesstimate workload accurately by month for employees for the entire year. What I mean is, since my reports all have 1 month of PTO annually, I budget for 11 months of work to get done in a 12 month cycle. I’ve been doing this for over a decade and it’s pretty accurate/consistent. We don’t have the Unlimited PTO policy. I’m just curious. If we were to go to Unlimited, how many months should I plan for?? If I plan for 10 months, but the employee wants to take off 3, we’ll be behind. If I plan for anything below 10 months, the numbers wont add up at budget time. I’m curious as to what other managers do for Unlimited. Thanks
