How the calculators work

• Each calculation applies a rule from a statute or regulation, and the section is shown next to the result.
• “How we calculated” shows each step, and the notes list the exceptions, special groups and facts the calculator can't know.
• Figures that change (minimum wage, court limits, fees) are shown for the year they apply; the binding figure is the one in the official source on the day it matters.
• The result is not legal advice. When it drives an important decision, have your full situation checked.
