About Unemployment Benefits Calculator
Unemployment Benefits Calculator is a free, independent resource that helps workers understand exactly how much unemployment insurance they may receive. Our calculator uses each state's 2026 replacement rates, minimum and maximum weekly benefits, and duration limits to estimate your weekly amount in seconds — no signup, no personal information required.
We are not a government agency. Our goal is simple: make unemployment benefits easier to understand, so more eligible workers file claims quickly and receive the benefits they have earned.
