How to Calculate Partial Unemployment Benefits
- 1). Add up the amount of income that you earned for the week.
- 2). Look on your most recent unemployment benefits payment stub, or your award letter, to get your set weekly benefit amount.
- 3). Use the Job Hunt website (see Resources) to get the web address for your state unemployment office. Once on your state unemployment office website, look to see if there is a partial benefits calculator that you can use, such as is on the Montana state unemployment website.
- 4). Enter in your weekly benefit amount and your amount of income and click on "Calculate" to get your partial benefits amount, if your state website has a calculator. Some states, such as Pennsylvania, have a chart that you can look at to determine the amount. Each state varies in how they calculate the partial benefits amount, which means there is no set equation to use for the calculation.
