How much does unemployment pay?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there's no easy way to calculate how much money you'll receive through unemployment benefits or for how long you'll be able to collect those benefits unless your state has an online unemployment calculator. Each state has a different rate, and benefits vary based on your earnings record and the date you became unemployed.

Answer 2

Every state has different unemployment calculators and rates. You will need to look up the rules / laws for your state. I wish it was easier and more consistent to calculate how much money you would get but it's not.

Answer 3

It varies from state to state, but a ballpark figure if 50% of weekly earnings for a period of 26 weeks.

MI will pay you 60% of your pay, but with a max of $362/week.

Answer 4

The average "check" is actually you checking for the check day by day living in your cardboard box and/or in your mom's attic with a laptop you bought when you pawned your Pokemon cards.
