What you receive

A focused list of the deadlines that matter for your specific situation, in priority order, with primary federal sources cited.

01

Personalized timeline

Every deadline computed from your last day worked. Health insurance, severance review, equity exercise, unemployment, retirement, and tax deadlines, all with calendar dates.

02

Federal sources cited

Every deadline references the actual federal regulation: EEOC for OWBPA, DOL for COBRA, IRS for ISO and AMT rules. No vague advice.

03

Reviewed before sending

Every calendar is checked before it lands in your inbox. We confirm the deadlines actually fit your situation rather than blindly applying defaults.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Decision Calendar really free?

Yes. The Decision Calendar preview is free with no credit card required. Paid plans ($89 for 6 months, $139 for 12 months) add SMS reminders, severance agreement analysis, runway calculator, and more. The preview gives you the deadline list and basic math.

What information do I need to provide?

Four inputs: your last day worked, your state of residence, whether you were 40 or older when laid off, and whether you had equity compensation (RSUs, ISOs, NQSOs, ESPP). Plus your email address for delivery.

How fast do I get the calendar?

Your Decision Calendar is delivered by email within the hour of submitting the form. Each calendar is reviewed before sending to make sure the deadlines actually fit your situation.

Do you sell my email or share it with recruiters?

No. We do not sell data, share with recruiters, or send marketing emails from third parties. We use your email only to deliver the calendar and, if you opt in, occasional updates from Layoff HQ. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

What if my situation is more complex than the four inputs cover?

The free preview covers the most common deadlines. Paid plans handle edge cases like double-trigger RSUs, multi-state moves, complex severance negotiations, and AMT modeling. If your situation is highly unusual, the 12-month plan ($139) includes a second severance review.
