How to Use the Workers Comp Settlement Estimator
Start by entering your weekly wage before the injury. Select your injury type from the dropdown —each type has a preset impairment rating that serves as a starting point. You can also manually enter a PPD rating (permanent partial disability percentage from 0 to 100) if you have one from your doctor.
Enter the number of weeks of temporary total disability (TTD) —this is the time you were completely unable to work. Add your medical costs to date including hospital bills, surgery, therapy, and medications. Select your state to apply the correct maximum TTD benefit duration.
Workers Comp Settlement Formula
TTD Benefit = Weekly Wage × 66.7% (capped at state maximum)
TTD Payment = TTD Benefit × TTD Weeks (capped at state max weeks)
PPD Value = PPD Rating% × 500 weeks × Weekly Wage × 66.7%
Total Settlement = TTD Payment + PPD Value + Medical Costs

A PPD rating is a percentage assigned by your doctor that measures the permanent impairment caused by your work injury. It is based on medical guidelines and considers factors like loss of range of motion, pain, and functional limitations. The rating is used to calculate your permanent disability award.

However, if your claim is denied, you have a permanent disability, your employer disputes the injury, or you are being pressured to settle for less than you deserve, a workers' compensation attorney can be invaluable.
Workers' comp attorney fees are typically lower than personal injury fees. Many states cap workers comp attorney fees at 10-20% of the settlement or award, often around 15%. In some states, the fee must be approved by the workers' compensation board.
Yes, you can receive both, but there may be offsets. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits may be reduced if your workers comp payments exceed 80% of your average current earnings. This is known as the workers comp offset.
