About LayoffSurvival

Built for the worst week of your career

LayoffSurvival is a free set of tools and guides built for one purpose: helping people who just lost their job understand their situation clearly, act quickly, and make their money last as long as possible.

Why this exists

Getting laid off is one of the most disorienting financial events in a person's life. The information you need โ€” how long your money lasts, what your severance is worth, what you're legally entitled to, which expenses to cut first โ€” is scattered across government websites, law firm blogs, and Reddit threads written by strangers with unknown agendas.

LayoffSurvival puts all of it in one place, in plain language, in tools that do the math for you. No email required. No account. No data stored on any server. Everything runs in your browser.

The tools are free because the people who need them most are the people who can least afford to pay for them right now.

What's here

Plus 50 state-specific unemployment pages with embedded calculators, and 26 company-specific layoff guides covering severance terms, WARN Act status, and RSU treatment for the most-affected employers.
