What Could My Claim Be Worth?
Enter your wages, time off work, and other details. We'll add up all the pieces to give you a rough estimate of your total claim value.
About your injury
Your date of injury determines which benefit rates apply.
Gross (before taxes) weekly pay. Not sure? Calculate your AWW.
Time off work
Count from when you stopped working until you went back (or until now if still off).
If you went back to work but at lower wages or fewer hours, enter those weeks here. Enter 0 if this doesn't apply.
If working at reduced pay, enter your current gross weekly earnings. If still off work, enter $0.
Permanent injury
This is a percentage your doctor assigns after you've healed as much as you're going to (at "maximum medical improvement"). If you don't have one yet, leave it blank or make your best guess.
Medical & other costs
Include surgeries, physical therapy, medications, and any future treatment you expect to need.
Mileage to appointments, prescription copays, home modifications, or anything else related to your injury.

What goes into your claim value
A workers' comp claim has several parts: lost wages while you're off work (TTD), lost wages if you return at lower pay (TPD), a permanent injury payment (PPD) if you have lasting damage, plus medical bills and other costs. This tool adds them all up so you can see the big picture. Remember, this is a planning estimate — actual outcomes depend on many factors.
