Free. No account needed. Your answers are sent to our server to generate the analysis and are never shared with your employer.
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.
Your eight answers are sent to an AI model that applies a written set of starting points: a weeks-per-year rate and a minimum floor for each role level, then adjustments for company size, state, industry, reason for separation, and tenure. The model reasons over those rules and returns a range, an assessment of your offer against it, and the negotiation levers that apply to your situation.
That means the range is a structured estimate, not a measurement. It is not drawn from a dataset of real offers, it is not a legal entitlement, and it is not a prediction of what your employer will agree to. It is a starting point for the conversation, and your own situation may justify more or less than it shows.
The Decoder runs and returns your result without asking who you are. There is no account to create, no email to hand over, and no step where you are asked to identify yourself.
Your answers are sent to our server and to the AI model that writes the analysis. We keep a de-identified record of the categories you selected — role level, tenure band, state, industry, company size, reason for separation — and never your salary, your offer, your name, or your email. Nothing is shared with your employer.
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.
