Important Disclaimer
Please read carefully before viewing your estimate.
This tool provides a general estimate only. Severance entitlements under Canadian common law depend on many individual factors — including the specific circumstances of your dismissal, any employment contract terms, mitigation efforts, and applicable provincial legislation.

The ranges shown are approximations based on the Bardal factors (age, length of service, character of employment, and availability of similar employment). They do not constitute legal advice.

You should consult a qualified employment lawyer before making any decisions about a severance offer or taking legal action. The team at Bhardwaj+Co can help you understand your rights and negotiate the best outcome.
