Free. Private. No account needed. Your answers stay in your browser unless you choose to save the result.
Role, tenure, state, salary, current offer. Takes under a minute.
We analyze it against typical severance ranges for your role, tenure, industry, and state.
A fair-market range, how your offer compares, and the 5–7 specific things worth negotiating before you sign.
The weeks-of-pay number in a severance offer is the part everyone looks at. It is rarely the part worth the most money. Benefits continuation, reference language, non-compete waivers, bonus acceleration, and unemployment non-contest agreements are all negotiable — and most people sign without asking for any of them.
The Severance Decoder shows you the full picture. You see the fair-market range for your specific situation, how your current offer compares, and the five to seven highest-leverage items you can still push on before you sign.
The Decoder is calibrated against typical severance patterns seen across 25+ years of senior HR work — the same playbook used to draft these offers from the other side of the table.
Your inputs never leave your browser except to generate the analysis. We don't sell, share, or link your data to anyone. Ever.
The Decoder surfaces typical-case analysis and negotiation levers. When your situation crosses into legal territory — discrimination, retaliation, wage claims — we'll flag it and tell you to bring in an employment attorney.
