Acceptance
By using State Wage Tools, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
The calculators are estimates, not legal advice
Every calculator on this site is an unofficial estimator. The tools convert published statutes, administrative rules, and labor-agency guidance into arithmetic, and they show their sources and their math so you can check them. They are not legal advice, not tax advice, not an agency determination, and not a substitute for the controlling law.
Wage and hour law is fact-specific. Coverage exemptions, employer size, industry rules, local ordinances, collective bargaining agreements, and individual circumstances can change the answer. If a calculator's result conflicts with an official source or with advice from a qualified professional, the official source and the professional control.
Accuracy and currency
The site aims to reflect current law and to cite a primary source for every published figure. Laws change, rates roll over on scheduled dates, and errors are possible. No warranty is made that any figure is current, complete, or correct on the day you read it. Always confirm a governing rate against the linked official source before relying on it for pay decisions.
No professional relationship
Using this site creates no attorney-client, accountant-client, or advisor-client relationship. If you need advice about your specific situation, consult a licensed employment attorney or your state labor agency. Each state calculator links to the agency and the wage-claim deadline for that state.
Limitation of liability
The site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, State Wage Tools and its author are not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, the calculators or content — including underpaid or overpaid wages, missed deadlines, or decisions made on the basis of a result.
Advertising
This site displays third-party advertising to support its hosting and maintenance. Ads are labeled and are served by third-party networks described in the privacy policy. Advertisers do not influence the calculators, the rates published, or the sources cited.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated as the site evolves. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
