US employment law is a complex mix of federal and state regulations. While the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets the federal baseline for minimum wage and overtime, individual states often have stricter rules that override federal law. California, for example, requires daily overtime after 8 hours — not just weekly. New York has its own minimum wage tiers by region.
These tools help you quickly estimate what you're owed under the applicable law in your state, whether it's calculating your take-home pay, figuring out overtime you've earned, or understanding your rights when leaving a job.
The federal minimum wage remains $7.25/hour, but most states have higher rates. FICA taxes in 2025 are 6.2% Social Security (up to $176,100 wage base) and 1.45% Medicare. Employers match these amounts. Many states also have their own income tax withholding requirements that vary by income level and filing status.
For workers leaving a job, final paycheck timing varies dramatically by state — from immediate payment upon termination in California to the next regular payday in many other states. PTO payout at termination is required in some states (like California) but not others. Severance is generally not required by federal law but may be owed under employment contracts or company policy.
