Clear, accurate tools for working out what you're entitled to — state unemployment benefits, Social Security estimates, SNAP eligibility, Canadian CPP, OAS, and Employment Insurance. No sign-up. No jargon. No guessing.
Government agencies publish payment rates — but buried in PDFs, scattered across departments, or written for administrators rather than the people they actually affect. If you've ever tried to figure out your exact unemployment benefit amount, how much Social Security you might receive at 62 versus 67, or whether your household income qualifies for SNAP, you know the frustration.
MyPaymentRates is being built to fix that. We're building interactive calculators for every major US state benefit program and the Canadian federal programs most people need to understand. Accurate data, sourced directly from official government publications, updated whenever rates change.
The calculators are launching in 2026. In the meantime, this page covers the current key rates across both countries — figures that are accurate as of our last verification date, with links to official sources so you can confirm them yourself.
Each tool will produce a personalised estimate based on your specific inputs — not a generic table.

Not "what are the current rates" — but "what will I actually receive if I apply this month, given my income, household, and state." That's a different question, and it needs a calculator, not a table.
Every rate on this site is sourced directly from SSA.gov, DOL.gov, Canada.ca, or the relevant state unemployment agency. We publish the source and the date we verified it. If a rate changes, we update it.
You don't need to create an account, share your email address, or hand over any personal information to use any calculator on this site. Your inputs stay in your browser.
Most people look up benefit information on a phone, often in stressful moments. Every calculator on MyPaymentRates is designed mobile-first, loads fast, and works without an app.
