How this is calculated

The deadline is the statutory maximum in New Hampshire: When an employer discharges an employee, the wages must be paid in full within 72 hours (RSA 275:44, I). When an employee quits or resigns, wages must be paid no later than the next regular payday (RSA 275:44, II). The penalty estimate uses New Hampshire does not add liquidated damages to the employee's claim for a late final paycheck. The remedy is the wages through the Department of Labor or district court.

This is an estimate, not a legal determination. Penalty provisions usually depend on the employer acting wilfully, and a court or agency decides the final number. Use the result to decide whether to send a demand, not as a promise of what you will collect.
