This tool helps you calculate the amount of compensation you can expect to receive from workers’ compensation.
How the Calculator Works:
This calculator helps you estimate your Workers’ Compensation benefits based on your average weekly wage, the percent disability assigned to you, and the duration of your disability in weeks.
How to Use It:
- Enter your Average Weekly Wage in dollars.
- Enter the Percent Disability assigned by your doctor or relevant authority.
- Enter the Duration of your disability in weeks.
- Click “Calculate” to see the estimated payout.
How It Calculates the Results:
The formula used to calculate the Workers’ Compensation benefits is:
Workers’ Comp Pay per Week = Average Weekly Wage × (Percent Disability / 100)
Total Workers’ Comp Pay = Workers’ Comp Pay per Week × Duration in Weeks
For example, if your average weekly wage is $500, your percent disability is 60%, and the duration is 10 weeks, the calculation would be:
- Workers’ Comp Pay per Week = $500 × (60/100) = $300
- Total Workers’ Comp Pay = $300 × 10 = $3000
Limitations:
While this calculator provides a good estimate, it may not account for all variables involved in your specific situation. Always consult with a Workers’ Compensation professional to get the most accurate information based on your case. Additionally, this calculator doesn’t take into account minimum and maximum payouts that might be determined by state regulations.
