Accessibility Statement
Unemployment, layoff, and tax tools are often used at the most stressful moments of working life — right after a job loss, or up against a filing deadline. Accessibility is therefore not a checkbox here — it is part of the product. Work Money Tax targets WCAG 2.1 AA conformance across the site.

- ARIA labels, roles, and live regions so results are announced to screen readers

Plain-language mode
Work-and-tax math is buried in jargon — base period, FUTA, SUTA, safe harbor, 1099-K, wage base. Our calculators include a plain-language mode that swaps these terms for everyday phrasing (for example, “base period” becomes “the 12 months of wages your state looks at”), so the tools remain usable if you have never read an agency handbook or an IRS publication. Cognitive accessibility counts too.
Known limitations
Interactive charts may have limited screen-reader support; wherever a chart appears, the same data is available as an accessible table.
