How to Use This Calculator

Enter the non-compete duration in months and geographic radius in miles.
Rate scope narrowness (1–10), consideration level (1–3), and state enforcement stance (1–3).
Set industry specificity score (1–10).
Review Enforceability Score (/100) and Risk Level — higher scores indicate greater likelihood of enforcement.

How the result changes with Duration (Months)

Duration (Months)	Enforceability Score	Risk Level (1=Low, 2=Med, 3=High)
6.9	81/100	3
22	71/100	2
39	56/100	2
54	56/100	2

What each input means

Duration (Months): Length of the non-compete restriction in months.
Geographic Radius (Miles): Geographic scope of the restriction in miles.
Scope Narrowness (1-10): How narrowly defined are the restricted activities? 10=very narrow/specific.
Consideration (1=At-Will, 2=Bonus, 3=Significant): What was given in exchange? 1=Continued employment, 2=Signing bonus, 3=Significant compensation.
State Stance (1=Weak, 2=Moderate, 3=Strong): Your state's general stance on non-compete enforcement.
Industry Specificity (1-10): How specific is the non-compete to a particular industry? 10=very specific.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

Identify Input Parameters
4 parameters
Duration (Months) = 12, Geographic Radius (Miles) = 50, Scope Narrowness (1-10) = 6, Consideration (1=At-Will, 2=Bonus, 3=Significant) = 2 = 6 input(s) provided
Calculate Enforceability Score
81 = 81
Calculate Risk Level
3 = 3
