⚠ Important Disclaimer This calculator provides rough educational estimates only. Workers' compensation law is complex and varies significantly by state. Settlement amounts depend on your specific medical evidence, disability rating, state law, insurance negotiations, and many other factors. Always consult a qualified workers' compensation attorney for a proper evaluation of your case. Many attorneys offer free consultations.

Want to maximize your settlement? An experienced workers' comp attorney can often significantly increase the amount you receive — and most work on contingency (no fee unless you win).

How Workers' Comp Settlement Is Calculated

Understanding the formula helps you know what to expect.

1

Establish your AWW

Your Average Weekly Wage (AWW) is typically calculated from your last 52 weeks of earnings before the injury.

2

Apply the compensation rate

Most states pay 66⅔% of your AWW as temporary total disability (TTD) benefits, up to a state-set maximum.

3

Assess permanent impairment

A doctor assigns an impairment rating. Each body part has a scheduled value in weeks of compensation.

4

Add medical costs

All reasonable and necessary medical treatment is covered — doctor visits, surgery, therapy, prescriptions.

5

Negotiate the settlement

A lump-sum settlement (Compromise & Release) closes the claim. An attorney can significantly increase this amount.
