FAQ

Workers Rights & Career Calculator FAQ

Straight answers to the questions workers and job seekers search for most.

Personal injury settlements use the multiplier method: add economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, property damage), then multiply by a pain and suffering factor (1.5–5×) based on injury severity, adjusted for your share of liability. Use the PI Settlement Calculator above to model your low, mid, and high range.
Workers comp benefits are typically 66.7% of your average weekly wage, capped at your state's maximum. The national average is about $632/week. State maximums range from $594 (Mississippi) to over $2,200 (Iowa). Use the Workers Comp Calculator for a state-specific estimate.
Federal law (FLSA) requires overtime at 1.5× your regular rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. California also has daily overtime thresholds (over 8 hrs/day). Use the Overtime Pay Calculator for exact FLSA figures.
The industry standard is one week of pay per year of service for white-collar employees. Executives often receive two to four weeks per year. On a $70,000 salary with 5 years of service, standard severance is about $6,731. The Severance Calculator models low, standard, and generous scenarios.
Enforceability varies by state. California, Minnesota, and North Dakota effectively ban non-compete enforcement. Florida aggressively enforces them. In most states, courts look at duration (12–24 months is reasonable), geographic scope, and legitimate business interest. Use the Non-Compete Risk Calculator for your state.
True total compensation includes base salary, bonus, employer health insurance contributions, 401k match, PTO days (worth your daily rate), and remote work value (~$4,600/year for fully remote). Commute costs are subtracted. The Job Offer Comparison Calculator handles all of this side by side.
Wrongful termination damages include back pay (wages lost from termination to settlement), front pay (future wage loss), and emotional distress. The average EEOC settlement is $40,000, but jury awards average $200,000. Discrimination and retaliation cases can also qualify for punitive damages. Use the Wrongful Termination Calculator above for an estimate based on your specifics.
A 5% raise on a $60,000 salary is $3,000 gross — but at 25% effective tax, the real after-tax annual gain is $2,250, or $187.50/month. The Raise Impact Calculator shows your per-paycheck increase and the 5, 10, and 20-year cumulative value.
Contractors pay 15.3% self-employment tax and must cover their own benefits, adding $14,000–$18,000/year in costs. As a rule of thumb, a contract hourly rate needs to be 25–40% higher than the FTE equivalent to break even. The Contractor vs Full-Time Calculator shows your exact break-even rate.
A $7,000 raise at age 30, with 3% annual raises and 25% effective tax, is worth over $370,000 in lifetime after-tax earnings. The Salary Negotiation Calculator models your exact lifetime gain and gives you a negotiation anchor.
AWW is your total wages in the 52 weeks before your injury divided by 52. WC benefits are set at 66.7% of AWW, capped at your state's maximum. Some states (Iowa, Massachusetts) use different replacement rates. The Workers Comp Calculator computes AWW automatically from your annual salary.
Yes — 38% of workers who ask receive a better package. Key negotiating points: extend the payout period, continue health insurance, add outplacement services, and request accelerated equity vesting. The Severance Calculator shows your ranges so you know exactly where to anchor your ask.
Most states give you 2–3 years from the date of injury to file. Louisiana has the shortest at 1 year; Minnesota and North Dakota allow up to 6 years. The discovery rule can extend the clock when injuries are not immediately apparent. Our state data table shows the statute of limitations for all 50 states.
A 4% match on an $80,000 salary is $3,200/year in free money. Over 30 years with 7% growth, that compounds to over $320,000. The Job Offer Comparison Calculator converts the annual 401k match to a dollar value so you can compare offers correctly.
Key value-increasing factors: clear liability, high ongoing medical expenses, documented lost income and reduced earning capacity, severe or permanent injuries, and strong evidence of pain and suffering. Insurance policy limits can cap the realistic settlement. Use the Personal Injury Settlement Calculator above to model how injury severity and liability affect your estimate.
