Not legal, payroll or tax advice
These calculators apply published rules to figures you enter. They are an aid to understanding, not a determination of what you are owed, and nothing here creates a professional relationship of any kind.
Employment law depends on facts these tools do not know: your classification as exempt or non-exempt, your state and locality, any collective agreement, your employer's defined workweek, and how your regular rate is composed. If a real amount of money turns on the answer, take it to your state labour department, an employment lawyer, or your payroll department — the first of those is free.
Provided as they are
The tools are free and provided without warranty of any kind, express or implied. They are offered as-is and as-available, with no guarantee that they are accurate for your circumstances, fit for a particular purpose, or that they will remain available.
Rules change. Statutes are amended, thresholds are adjusted and holiday observances shift. A figure that was right when the page was written may not be right when you read it.
Check the number before you rely on it
Every tool names the rule it applied and cites the source specifically so the result can be checked rather than trusted. Please check it. If the rule shown does not match your situation, the number below it does not either.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Joseph Lawrence is not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of this site, including underpaid or overpaid wages, a missed deadline, a payroll error, or any decision taken on the basis of a figure produced here. Your use of these tools is at your own risk.
Acceptable use
Do not attempt to disrupt the site for other people. Because everything is calculated on your own device, what you enter is your responsibility alone.
Intellectual property
The figures you enter are yours, and are never transmitted, so no licence in them is granted to anyone. The site's text, design and code remain the property of Joseph Lawrence. The statutes and regulations cited are public documents and are linked rather than reproduced.
Advertising and third-party links
Pages carry display advertising and link to government sources. Advertisers and linked sites are not under this site's control and their content is not endorsed by it.
Changes
These terms may change; the date above changes with them, and continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms.
