Before You Begin

  • Results are estimates, for education only. This tool doesn't interpret severance agreements, doesn't advise whether you should sign one, and doesn't calculate an official tax liability.
  • Unemployment-benefit eligibility and amounts vary by state, use your own estimate. Tax consequences depend on how your severance is structured.

How is the severance structured?

Is the bonus or commission confirmed in writing?

Does the agreement include restrictive covenants or unclear terms (non-compete, broad release, etc.)?

Employer-provided outplacement assistance?

A note on guardrails This tool doesn't interpret severance agreements and doesn't advise on whether to sign one, releases, confidentiality clauses, and non-competes are legal matters, get a lawyer's review when in doubt. Unemployment eligibility and amounts vary by state, and tax consequences depend on how your severance is structured. Every figure here is an estimate for education only.
