Privacy Policy
Your personal information is our priority. Unemployment benefit calculations stay strictly on your device.
We value the privacy of our users and understand the sensitive nature of personal information related to employment, income, and financial circumstances. This policy outlines our commitment to protecting your privacy while using our Unemployment Benefits Calc app.
Our Data Handling & Privacy Policy
Unemployment Benefits Calc is a utility that helps you estimate your weekly unemployment benefit amount based on your state, quarterly earnings, dependents, and the reason you left your job. To protect your privacy, we adhere to strict data-handling practices:
- • Local Processing: All unemployment benefit calculations are performed locally on your device. No wage, earnings, employment, or personal data is ever transmitted to or stored on our servers.
- • No Account Required: We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information.
- • Third-Party Advertising: To keep this tool free, we use Google AdMob to serve ads. AdMob may collect anonymous device identifiers, IP addresses, and generalized location data to serve relevant advertisements. Users in regulated regions (such as the EU/UK and specific US states) will be presented with a Consent Management Platform (CMP) to manage these ad preferences.
- • Fraud Prevention: To protect our advertising partners from invalid traffic and malicious bots, we may process one-way hashed (anonymized) device tokens. This purely ensures system integrity and cannot be reverse-engineered to identify you or tied to your earnings inputs.
How the App Works
Unemployment Benefits Calc uses state-specific unemployment benefit formulas and weekly benefit tables for all 50 states and Washington, D.C. to estimate your weekly benefit amount based on the state and earnings you enter. It also shows which quarters count toward your base period, warns you if recent earnings may be excluded from your benefit calculation, and lets you explore partial unemployment and dependency allowance scenarios. Your input data never leaves your device.
When you close the app or clear the calculator, all entered data is erased from memory. We do not maintain any databases or storage systems that contain user information.
Accuracy Disclaimer
The calculations provided by Unemployment Benefits Calc are estimates based on state unemployment formula tables and should be used for informational purposes only. Unemployment benefit rules, wage bases, and benefit amounts vary by state and change frequently. Actual benefit amounts are determined solely by your state's unemployment insurance agency based on your verified wage history and eligibility. For accurate benefit information, please contact your state's unemployment insurance agency or visit its official website. We do not guarantee the accuracy of calculations and are not responsible for any decisions made based on the app's results.
