For F-1 / OPT students · Free · Computed in your browser
The OPT unemployment clock decides whether you keep your status, and most students track it in a spreadsheet, wrong. Enter your EAD start date and your jobs. We compute your exact days used, days left, and the date you hit the limit.
Informational, not legal advice. The official counter is your SEVIS record; confirm with your DSO.
Your OPT details
Leave the end date empty for your current job. Days you worked do not count against the clock.
Enter your EAD start date
Your unemployment clock starts the day your OPT EAD becomes valid, not when you graduate. We compute everything in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Get warned before you cross a threshold
One email at each danger mark (60, 75, 85 days used), nothing else. Unsubscribe in one click.
Enter your EAD start date first so the alerts have something to track.
Days between your program end date and your EAD start date are free. The clock only runs from the “valid from” date on the card.
Every unemployed day adds up across your whole OPT. A new job pauses the clock, it does not refill it. STEM OPT adds 60 more days for a 150 total.
Contract work, multiple part-time jobs, qualifying unpaid roles, even self-employment can stop the clock on standard OPT, if 20+ hours/week and degree-related. See the rules with citations.
