Free Ontario Legal Calculators

Quick estimates for common Ontario situations. This is legal information, not legal advice — every calculator here is a starting point, not a final answer.

This tool estimates entitlements for a non-unionized Ontario employee terminated without cause. It does not apply if you have a valid contract clause limiting you to ESA minimums, if you were terminated for cause, or for unionized/federally-regulated jobs. This is legal information, not legal advice — talk to an employment lawyer before accepting or rejecting any offer. Many offer a free initial consultation.

Note: unless your contract has a valid, enforceable termination clause, you're generally entitled to whichever is greater — the ESA minimum or common law reasonable notice — not both stacked together.
