How to Use the Workers' Comp Future Medical Buyout Calculator

To use this calculator, input your average weekly wage, permanent disability rating, and the number of weeks you are eligible for compensation. You can also include additional factors such as impairment ratings and benefits to refine the estimate.

Formula for Calculating the Settlement

Example Calculation

Consider a worker with an average weekly wage of $1,000, a permanent disability rating of 20%, and eligible for 50 weeks of compensation. If they have an impairment rating of 10% and a bodily impairment rating of 5%, the estimated settlement would be calculated as follows:

• Base Settlement: $1,000 * 0.20 * 50 = $10,000
• Impairment Adjustment: $1,000 * 0.10 * 50 = $5,000
• Bodily Adjustment: $1,000 * 0.05 * 50 = $2,500
• Total Estimated Settlement: $17,500

Tips for Accurate Calculations

• Ensure all inputs are accurate and reflect your current situation.
• Consult with a professional for precise impairment ratings.
• Consider state-specific regulations that may affect your settlement.
