Data
The reference data our generators and calculators run on. Every dataset comes from an official or primary source, carries the date we last checked it, and is pulled from the site automatically if it goes stale past its refresh cadence.

All Datasets
IRS Standard Mileage Rates, 2026
Business and medical/moving rates both changed midyear. Use the rate in effect on the date of travel; the charitable rate is set by statute and rarely changes.
States With Daily Overtime Rules
Federal law requires overtime after 40 hours in a workweek everywhere. These states add a daily trigger on top. Rules carry industry and employer-size exceptions; confirm your state's current law before relying on this summary.
IRS Business Mileage Rate, 2015 to 2026
Cents per business mile. Two midyear increases in the modern record: July 2022 and July 2026, both driven by fuel-price spikes.
GSA Per Diem Standard Rates, FY 2026
The standard CONUS rate applies to most of the continental US; about 300 high-cost localities carry higher rates (look yours up at gsa.gov). M&IE on the first and last day of travel pays at 75%.
What Trades Earn: Median Hourly Wages (BLS, May 2025)
National median wages for workers in each trade, not billed rates. A business bills 2x to 3x the wage to cover taxes, insurance, overhead, tools, and non-billable time; use these as the labor-cost floor under a quote, not the price.
Minimum Wage in 2026: Federal Floor and the High-Rate States
Selected 2026 rates; many cities set higher local minimums on top. The federal $7.25 has not moved since 2009, which is why the state column is the one that matters for payroll.
Sign-In Sheet Rules by Setting
The same document carries different legal weight depending on where the clipboard sits. Requirements summarized from federal guidance and common state licensing rules; check your state and licensor for specifics.
How Long to Keep This Document
Federal minimums for small businesses. States and industries can require longer; when two rules apply, keep the record for the longer period.
Late Fees and Payment Terms: What Is Typical
Conventions, not legal maximums. Several states cap late-fee interest through usury or prompt-payment statutes; check your state before charging above the typical range.
