In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The easiest way to calculate the amount of benefits you may receive is to use an online calculator. Go to the website of your state or country's unemployment program and search for a calculator. For example, you can find the UK's benefits calculator at https://www.gov.uk/benefits-calculators. There is no guarantee that you'll be awarded the exact amount shown by the online calculator. However, the calculator will give you a good estimate that you can use to start thinking about your budget during the time you're unemployed. Generally, the amount of benefits you receive will depend on the income you earned before your employment was terminated. Benefits are typically a percentage of your income. If you weren't working for a full year before your termination, simply total the income you did make. If you worked for another employer during the prior year, include those amounts too. To find income information, look on your last pay slip or on your tax return. If your pay was deposited directly into your bank account, you can also look at bank records. Total the deposits that were made by your employer's payroll account. Most countries consider the income of your spouse or partner, as well as income you earned from other sources, when determining the amount of money you can receive in unemployment compensation. Some income, such as money you receive for child support, may be excluded from unemployment benefit calculations. Talk to someone at your local benefits office to find out for sure. How long you'll be eligible to receive unemployment benefits is typically based on the number of hours you worked. The amount you receive each week is based on the amount of money you earned (up to a legal maximum). For example, in Canada, the maximum amount you can receive in unemployment is $547 per week. In addition to the number of hours you've worked in the past 52 weeks, Canada also takes your regional unemployment rate into account when determining how long you can receive benefits. Generally, if the regional unemployment rate is higher, it's assumed it will take you longer to find suitable employment. If you switched jobs or were unemployed for a significant period of time in the last 52 weeks, you may only be able to receive unemployment benefits for a minimal duration. In Canada, for example, the minimum amount of time you could receive unemployment benefits is 14 weeks. While you search for employment, you or your family may be eligible for other benefits in addition to unemployment benefits. You often can find this information online, or you can get a worker in the unemployment benefits office to help you. For example, if you're unemployed and live in Canada, you can use the Benefits Finder to determine if you are eligible for other programs. Go to http://www.canadabenefits.gc.ca/f.1.2c.6.3z.1rdq.5.2st.3.4ns@.jsp?lang=en and enter your information to get started.
Summary: Look for an online benefits calculator. Total your income over the past year. Get information about other family income. Determine the number of hours you worked in the past year. Evaluate your eligibility for additional benefits.
