Key Features

All-50-State Weekly Benefit Calculator

Estimates your weekly unemployment check using each state's published 2026 formula — High-Quarter, Average Weekly Wage, Base Period Wages, and Two-Quarter methods — from $235/week in Mississippi to $1,152/week in Washington, and shows the full math behind every result.

Base Period Visualizer & Gap Detector

See exactly which quarters count toward your claim, which are excluded, and which high quarter drives your amount. If a recent raise could lower your benefit, the Gap Detector warns you and explains the Alternate Base Period before your determination letter does.

Denial Help & 3-Stage Appeal Guide

Fired, quit, or denied? Every result includes a next step — the 3 appeal stages, filing-deadline warnings, good-cause and constructive dismissal explanations, and clear guidance on when an employment attorney can help.

Frequently Asked Questions About Unemployment Benefits

Most states replace about 40–60% of your average weekly wage during your base period, capped at the state maximum — from $235/week in Mississippi to $1,152/week in Washington in 2026. The calculator runs your state's published formula so you can estimate your weekly check before you file, not after.
The most common reason is the base period gap: benefits are based on wages from about a year ago, not your most recent paychecks. If your raise, bonus, or best quarter happened recently, it may be excluded from your base period. Ask your state about the Alternate Base Period — it can use more recent quarters and raise your benefit.
In most states it is the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters before you file. File in April 2026 and your base period is usually January–December 2025. The app's Base Period Visualizer shows which four quarters count, which are excluded, and which "high quarter" drives your weekly amount.
Yes, in most states — it's called partial unemployment. You can usually earn a small amount (often $25 or 20–30% of your weekly benefit) before your check is reduced above that disregard. Use the in-app slider to see exactly how part-time earnings change your weekly benefit in real time.
It depends on the reason. Misconduct usually disqualifies you, but quitting for good cause — unsafe conditions, harassment, major pay cuts, constructive dismissal — qualifies in most states, and many denials are overturned on appeal. The Appeal Guide walks you through all 3 appeal stages and the deadlines you cannot miss.
It varies more than most people expect. 26 weeks is the standard, but states like Florida and North Carolina cap regular benefits at 12 weeks, while Massachusetts offers up to 30. The calculator shows your state's 2026 maximum weeks and your total maximum benefit — weekly amount × weeks — in one tap.
