Free retainage release calculator for a private California job: a 5% retainage cap and the release timing, each with its Civil Code section

What the tools do

Calculators and trackers built on the same state rules as Auromis.

State calculators

  • Retainage cap and release

    Your state’s retainage cap and the deadline to release retainage, with the statute behind each.

  • Prompt-pay clock

    When a payment becomes late under your state’s rules, and the interest the statute adds. Information, not a demand.

  • Lien and notice deadlines

    Preliminary notice, notice of intent, lien and bond-claim deadlines, where your state sets them.

  • Payment-date rights

    Where you can ask when the owner paid your GC: NY, NV, OR and AZ, plus WA public work through a records request.

Trackers

  • Deadline calendar

    Preliminary notice, notice of intent, lien and bond-claim dates for each of your jobs. Part of the Free plan.

  • WA affidavit tracker

    Washington public jobs: which affidavits are still missing before retainage can be released.

Note: The 18 states covered

Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington. We’ll add more states over time.

How the tools work

  • Same rules as the product

    The calculators run on the same state rules as Auromis, stored as data rather than hard-coded.

  • A citation with every result

    Each cap, clock and deadline names the statute it comes from, so you can check it yourself.

  • Information, not legal advice

    The tools show what state rules may say for typical jobs. For disputes or lien filings, talk to a construction attorney.

The same rules, across all your jobs

Auromis runs these calculators over every job you upload and alerts you 7 days before each deadline. No sales call. No demo.
