Free Employment Tools for Workers Who Need Answers

LaborClaimTools.com was built for one reason: when you get laid off, the last thing you should have to do is pay a lawyer just to find out if your severance offer is fair.

Our Mission

Every year, millions of workers in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom are handed severance agreements, redundancy letters, or termination notices — often with pressure to sign within days. Most of them have no idea whether the offer is fair, what they are legally entitled to, or what questions to even ask.

LaborClaimTools.com exists to close that information gap. We build free, accurate, easy-to-use calculators and guides that give workers the same basic knowledge that employment lawyers have — so they can walk into any negotiation with confidence, or at least know when it is worth calling a professional.

We are not lawyers. We are not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice. But we do believe deeply that understanding your rights should not require a $500 consultation fee just to get started.

What We Cover

Our tools are designed for workers in three countries, each with very different employment laws:

  • United States: Severance pay calculator, severance tax estimator, WARN Act checker, notice period calculator, and wrongful termination checklist.
  • Canada: Statutory severance under the Canada Labour Code plus common law reasonable notice — the Bardal factors calculation that courts actually use, broken down by province.
  • United Kingdom: Statutory redundancy pay using the official 2026 formula, including the £643 weekly pay cap, age bands, enhanced redundancy, and notice pay entitlement.

All calculations are updated annually to reflect the latest statutory rates and thresholds. We also publish in-depth articles to help workers understand their rights before, during, and after a job loss.

Who Built This

LaborClaimTools.com was created by a small independent team with backgrounds in employment law research, software development, and personal finance. The site grew out of a frustrating personal experience with an opaque severance offer — and the realisation that the information to evaluate it existed, but was scattered across law firm blogs, government PDFs, and paywalled databases.

We brought it all together into one clean, free tool. That's the whole story.

How We Stay Free

The site is funded entirely through display advertising. We do not sell your data, offer paid tiers, or take referral fees from any law firms or financial services companies. Every tool on this site will always be free to use.

A Note on Accuracy

We work hard to keep our calculators accurate and up to date. However, employment law is complex, varies significantly by state, province, and jurisdiction, and changes regularly. All results from our tools are estimates for educational purposes only — they are not legal advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for a qualified employment lawyer's opinion in your specific situation.

If you believe a tool contains an error or outdated information, please contact us and we will review it promptly.
