Think you're owed unpaid wages?
If you worked overtime for straight-time pay, clocked unpaid hours, or earned below the minimum wage, you may be owed back pay. Estimate it below, then see exactly how to file a wage claim in your state.
Your situation
Unpaid overtime estimate
- Size of the weekly gap. About 9% of a typical week's correct pay looks unpaid.
- Total back pay at stake. The amount is large enough that most wage attorneys will take a look.
- How long it ran. 26 recoverable weeks within the federal 2-year window.
- Standard 2-year window. No willful-violation signal entered, so the federal look-back is 2 years.
The Claim Kit is a printable demand letter pre-filled with your figures, your state's filing route, and a step-by-step complaint guide. The case review is free and carries no obligation.
This is an estimate from the figures you entered, not legal advice or a guarantee of recovery. Wage law has local exceptions and strict deadlines — confirm with your state labor department or an employment attorney.
How to file a wage claim in your state
Each guide lists the agency that handles wage claims, the official filing route, the federal back-pay window, and the extra penalties your state may allow on top.
