About First Hire Kit

Share or copy link

First Hire Kit is an independent site for US small-business owners hiring their first few employees. It has free calculators and plain-English guides that link to primary sources.

How we make content

• Every rate, threshold, and deadline is checked against a primary source, such as the IRS, the Department of Labor, USCIS, or a state agency, and linked where it's used.
• Content is researched and drafted with the help of AI tools, then checked against those sources. Each guide shows the date it was last checked.
• We're not lawyers or CPAs, and nothing here is legal, tax, or financial advice.

Independence

The site is funded by clearly labeled sponsorships. Sponsors never get to edit guides or calculator results, and sponsored content is always marked. Read the disclosure policy.
