Free severance runway calculator
How long will your Meta severance last?
A typical Meta layoff package is about 26 weeks of pay at roughly 5 years' tenure (16 weeks of base pay + 2 additional weeks per year of service, with RSUs vesting through the next quarterly vest date after separation.). How long that severance lasts is that pay plus your savings, divided by your monthly expenses. Figures below are illustrative — enter your own numbers for your runway.

Where the Meta pre-fill comes from
The calculator above is seeded with an ILLUSTRATIVE Meta package: 16 weeks of base pay + 2 additional weeks per year of service, with RSUs vesting through the next quarterly vest date after separation. At about 5 years of tenure that works out to roughly 26 weeks of pay, which is what we pre-fill. The base salary shown is a sector-typical placeholder, and the severance figures come from public reporting of varying certainty that can go out of date. None of these are your actual numbers, an offer, or a benchmark of fairness — overwrite every field with your own figures for a runway that reflects your situation.
