General legal information for the United States, not legal advice. Read the disclaimer

How these tools are built

Every number comes from our state data, compiled 2026-10-20 from published 50-state surveys and cross-checked, with the statute or court rule cited next to the result. The date arithmetic and comparisons are ours and are labelled that way. Nothing you enter leaves your browser: the calculators run on the page and we do not store what you type.

What they are not

They are not legal advice and they cannot see your facts. A deadline can differ because of when you discovered a problem, who you are suing or your age at the time. Each tool lists the common exceptions. If a deadline is close, speak to a licensed attorney or a legal aid office. Our guide to free legal help lists places to start.
