Workers Compensation Calculator

Estimate your weekly workers' compensation benefit and the value of a permanent partial disability (PPD) settlement. The calculator uses the standard 66.67% wage replacement rate, applies your state's approximate weekly maximum, and uses common body-part schedules to project PPD value. Workers' comp rules vary widely by state — treat the output as a ballpark and verify with a workers' comp attorney.

Legal Disclaimer: Workers' comp benefits vary significantly by state — this calculator uses approximate weekly maximums and a generic body-part schedule for illustration only. Your state's actual rates, body-part schedule, and PPD formula may differ materially. Always verify with your state's workers' compensation board or a licensed workers' comp attorney before relying on these estimates.

How Workers' Comp Benefits Work

Most states pay two-thirds (66.67%) of your average weekly wage, tax-free, capped at a state-specific weekly maximum. Temporary total disability (TTD) pays while you cannot work at all during recovery. Once you reach Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI), a doctor assigns an impairment rating. That rating is multiplied by the number of weeks assigned to the injured body part in your state's schedule, times your weekly comp rate, to produce the PPD value.

Permanent total disability (PTD) is paid when you can never return to gainful employment. Some states pay PTD for life; others cap it at 500 weeks or a dollar maximum. Your settlement may also include lifetime medical — not included in this calculator.
