What is SimpleSeverance?

SimpleSeverance is negotiation coaching and information for people with a severance offer. It shows typical severance figures with benchmarks and provides counter-offer emails, phone scripts, and a timeline. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

How much does SimpleSeverance cost?

The Assessment is completely free with no credit card required. The Severance Negotiation Plan costs $149 as a one-time payment and includes market benchmarks, negotiation talking points, email templates, and action checklists. Attorney consultation fees are set by individual attorneys, not SimpleSeverance.

Is SimpleSeverance legal advice?

No. SimpleSeverance is negotiation coaching and information, not legal advice and not a law firm. It provides typical severance figures, counter-offer emails, and phone scripts, but does not interpret agreements, state legal rights, judge contract enforceability, or evaluate legal claims.

If SimpleSeverance is free to start, how do you make money?

Two ways: Severance Negotiation Plans — users pay $149 for a personalized PDF report with negotiation guidance and templates, and our Attorney Directory — attorneys apply to join our vetted, independent directory. We do not receive 'referral fees' or commissions from settlements. This ensures our recommendations remain unbiased and empowers you to choose the attorney that fits your needs.

What happens after I complete the Assessment?

You immediately see a free summary of your results including your dual scores (Complexity and Leverage) and what they mean. From there, you can purchase the $149 Severance Negotiation Plan for detailed market benchmarks, negotiation talking points, email templates, and a personalized action plan. If your situation shows factors where attorney involvement often adds value, we unlock our Attorney Directory so you can browse and connect with employment attorneys in your state.

SimpleSeverance provides educational information and negotiation tools to help laid-off employees understand their severance offers and negotiate better packages. The platform offers a free assessment to understand your situation and leverage, followed by a personalized negotiation playbook that includes market benchmarks, email templates, phone scripts, and state-specific guidance.

The service helps people in various employment situations—whether they've been terminated, put on a performance improvement plan, or are still employed but considering leaving. SimpleSeverance is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice; instead, it focuses on negotiation strategy and market data to help employees approach severance conversations with confidence.

The company was founded in 2025 by Hugo Amorim and Christian Bogue to address the imbalance between employers and employees in severance negotiations.
