Why this estimate matters

Severance can create a meaningful difference in your runway and negotiation position. Even a rough estimate helps you plan more calmly than relying on assumptions or worst-case thinking.

What to verify

Check your offer letter, employee handbook, severance communication, and any official layoff note. Employers often package severance alongside notice pay or ex-gratia support, which can change the total amount.

Practical next step

After using this tool, compare the estimate against your written documents and move into a checklist review before you sign anything.

Assumptions behind this estimate

  • The estimate uses monthly salary multiplied by tenure and a selected policy multiple.
  • It assumes the policy is applied consistently across completed years of service.
  • It does not automatically include notice pay, leave encashment, gratuity, or taxes.

Frequently asked questions

Is severance mandatory in every layoff?

Not always. The actual outcome depends on your contract, company policy, tenure, and the structure of the exit package.

Should I include bonus or allowances in salary?

Use the salary basis that your employer uses for severance calculations if it is documented. If not, estimate carefully and confirm with HR.
