When Is Your Final Paycheck Due?
Final-pay deadlines split on fired vs. quit in most states. Enter yours and the calculator applies the statute — the due date, and the penalty that follows a late check.
Run the numbers
Pick your state, how you left, your last day, and your next scheduled payday.
How it works
- Choose your state and how you left — California pays fired workers immediately; Texas counts six calendar days; Florida has no statutory deadline at all.
- Enter your last day worked — every clock counts from there.
- Enter your next scheduled payday — three of the seven states set the deadline as 'the next regular payday,' so the calculator needs your pay schedule to name the date.
- If your date has passed, your state's guide explains the penalty provision and the claim form that goes with it.
The state guides behind this tool — with the statute text, the exceptions, and the claim process — are in the Final Paycheck Laws by State directory.
