Estimate the weekly unemployment benefit from prior wages in California.
A simplified California UI estimate: roughly 60% of quarter-average wages, capped at about $450/week. States compute from high-quarter and base-period wages.
Weekly
Weekly = min(cap, 60% × high-quarter wages ÷ 13)
Approximate — verify with the state unemployment agency.
This uses an approximate reference cap; the state unemployment agency publishes the official figure.
Rates are approximate reference values. Local rates, exemptions and rules can differ, so treat the output as a planning figure only.
