About CareerToolly

CareerToolly exists for one reason: most workers face the biggest financial decisions of their careers — severance offers, salary negotiations, layoff recoveries — without the tools or context to make them confidently. We build those tools, and we make them free.

Our mission

To give every employee instant access to the kind of analysis that used to require an HR consultant, an employment lawyer, or a friend who'd been through it before. Clear, transparent, and built on publicly defensible methodologies.

How we build

Every calculator on this site uses a documented, deterministic formula — no black boxes. Our editorial articles are researched against current US labor regulations, published case law, and verified industry benchmarks. When something changes (and in employment law, it always does), we update.

Who we serve

Individual contributors, managers, executives, contractors, and anyone in between. From your first salary negotiation to your last severance package, CareerToolly is here for the inflection points.

A note on accuracy

Our tools produce estimates designed to give you a strong starting point for your own research and conversations with qualified professionals. They are not a substitute for legal or financial advice. We say this clearly on every tool, and we mean it.
