About this tool

Most wrongful-termination settlements anchor on lost pay, so this calculator starts there: back pay for the months you were out of work (salary plus the value of lost benefits, minus anything interim work paid), front pay for the wage gap you expect after re-employment, and a line for emotional distress. A plain evidence-strength selector then scales the total, because a case with written admissions settles very differently from one resting on impressions. You get a low/mid/high range, an after-fee view for a typical contingency arrangement, and visible context on at-will employment and statutory caps. It is an educational estimate, not legal advice — and not professional advice of any kind; an employment attorney is the right next step for a real valuation. Everything computes locally in your browser, and closing the tab clears it.
