About Leave Pay by State
Radif Partners reads the benefit formulas that each state writes into its unemployment, temporary disability and paid family leave laws, with the weekly caps the agencies publish for 2026, and turns them into one estimate: how much a week, for how many weeks, before and after federal tax, next to the take-home pay it replaces. Every formula names the document it was read in and the date. The site files no claim, refers no lawyer and asks for no contact details.
Why it exists
Someone who has just been laid off, or who is about to give birth, asks a simple question: how much will come in each week, and for how long. The official answer is split between offices. The unemployment calculator of one state knows nothing of its disability program, the paid leave calculator of another asks for eight weeks of pay stubs and says nothing about taxes, and the search results in between are law firm pages and copied tables from earlier years.
Each state agency publishes a calculator for its own program and nothing else: the unemployment office estimates unemployment, the disability office estimates disability, and none of them says what the check is worth after federal tax or next to the pay it replaces. This site puts the 51 unemployment formulas of the Department of Labor table and the 18 paid leave and disability programs paying in 2026 behind one form, so one pay gives every benefit your state would pay, a week and in total, with the rule that produced it.
Who publishes it
The site is published by Radif Partners, a company that builds calculators on public rules. It is not a state agency, a law firm, an insurer or a payroll company. It files no claim, sells no coverage, has no partner to send you to and carries no affiliate link.

What it relies on
The U.S. Department of Labor table of state unemployment laws in force on July 1, 2026, for 51 jurisdictions; the pages and statutes of the 18 disability and paid leave programs paying in 2026, from California's Employment Development Department to the District of Columbia's Office of Paid Family Leave; the 2026 federal tax brackets of Revenue Procedure 2025-32 and the IRS rulings on benefit taxation.
What it leaves out
Whether you qualify, the reason you left a job, your employer's own short-term disability plan and any judgment on your claim. The method page lists every simplification; the editorial policy explains corrections.
