What these calculators show
These gross model estimates use the same industry rates and role factors across countries. The rates are this site's product assumptions, not measured local payouts, an employer policy, a legal entitlement or a prediction of a negotiated payment.
The optional paid assessment covers US employment context only. These international calculators do not provide a paid assessment of Canadian, UK or Australian legal rights. No international calculation inputs are transferred into the US questionnaire.

Does this tool calculate statutory or notice pay?
Statutory redundancy, severance and notice-pay amounts are unavailable. Salary, service length, industry and role do not establish coverage, eligibility, the applicable rules or an individual entitlement. The lower model estimate is not a legal minimum.
Does this tool calculate take-home pay or tax?
Take-home and tax estimates are unavailable. This tool does not model the composition of a termination payment, individual tax circumstances, deductions, contributions or exemptions. No net figure is substituted for the gross model.
Does the paid assessment evaluate non-US employment rights?
The optional paid assessment covers US employment context only. These international calculators do not provide a paid assessment of Canadian, UK or Australian legal rights. No international calculation inputs are transferred into the US questionnaire.
Official resources: Canada
- Canada has separate federal and provincial or territorial employment-standards coverage. Selecting a province does not establish which regime applies to an individual.
- Ontario's guide distinguishes severance pay from termination pay. The CRA also distinguishes retiring allowances from salary continuance and wages in lieu of notice; a payment's components matter.
- Federal coverage and provincial/territorial resources
- Ontario: severance pay
- CRA: payments of retiring allowances
