Base Period Wages
Enter wages for each quarter of your base period — the first 4 of the last 5 completed calendar quarters before your filing date (Fla. Stat. § 443.036). Florida uses only your highest single quarter to calculate your weekly benefit (Fla. Stat. § 443.111(3)). Enter $0 for any quarter you did not work.

Monetary threshold may not be met. Florida requires (a) wage credits in at least two base-period quarters, AND (b) total base-period wages of at least 1.5× the highest quarter OR at least $3,400 total (Fla. Stat. § 443.111(2)). Florida offers no alternative base period. File directly at floridajobs.org — FloridaCommerce makes the official monetary determination at no cost.

Your estimate vs. Florida's benefit range ($32–$275)
$32—$275 (FL max)
Florida's $275 cap applied. Your earnings qualify for more than $275/week under the formula, but the statutory ceiling applies. Florida's maximum has been unchanged since 2011 — the second-lowest cap in the United States. Washington State pays up to $1,152/week. Source: Fla. Stat. § 443.111(3).
25% base-period wage cap applies. Your maximum total benefit is also capped at 25% of your total base-period wages, up to $6,325 (§ 443.111(5)(b)). Your effective total is shown above.

Florida reduces Reemployment Assistance benefits for weeks with part-time earnings. The deduction is: (earned income minus 8× the federal minimum wage), dollar-for-dollar from the WBA (Fla. Stat. § 443.111(4)(b)). Enter your weekly benefit amount and part-time earnings to estimate the partial benefit.

Gross (before taxes), for one week
Federal threshold (2026): The earned-income disregard is 8× the federal hourly minimum wage = 8 × $7.25 = $58.00/week (29 U.S.C. § 206; Fla. Stat. § 443.111(4)(b)). Earnings at or below $58 do not reduce your weekly benefit. Earnings above $58 reduce the benefit dollar-for-dollar.

Earnings exceed WBA. When earnings above the $58 threshold equal or exceed the full WBA, no benefit is payable for that week. Report earnings accurately in Reconnect regardless (Fla. Stat. § 443.091(1)).
Earnings below threshold. Earnings at or below $58/week do not reduce the weekly benefit. The full WBA is payable (Fla. Stat. § 443.111(4)(b)).
Report all earnings: Claimants must accurately report all earnings each biweekly claiming period via Reconnect (Fla. Stat. § 443.091(1)(b)). Failure to report earned income constitutes fraud under Fla. Stat. § 443.071.
