Every Calcnate calculator and guide for USA, in one place β€” free, instant, and sourced from USA law.

Home β€Ί USA

US employment is at-will, and there is no federal statutory severance β€” so instead of a severance formula, these pages honestly explain what you're legally owed when a job ends. That means your accrued PTO/vacation (which some states require to be paid out), your final paycheck (with state deadlines), and your rights under the WARN Act to advance notice of a mass layoff.

These are sourced reference pages, not calculators β€” because the honest answer in most cases depends on your state and your employer's written policy. Always confirm with your state labor department.
