Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate total compensation:

Total Compensation = Property Damage + Medical Expenses + (Lost Workdays × Hourly Wage)

Where:

  • Property Damage - Estimated value of vehicle damage
  • Medical Expenses - Total medical bills incurred
  • Lost Workdays - Number of days missed from work
  • Hourly Wage - Your average hourly earnings

Note: This is a simplified estimate. Actual compensation may vary based on insurance policies, legal agreements, and other factors.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Minor Accident

If you have:

  • Property damage: $1,500
  • Medical expenses: $200
  • Lost workdays: 3 days
  • Hourly wage: $25

The calculation would be:

$1,500 (Property) + $200 (Medical) + (3 × $25) = $1,500 + $200 + $75 = $1,775

Example 2: Serious Accident

If you have:

  • Property damage: $5,000
  • Medical expenses: $1,200
  • Lost workdays: 7 days
  • Hourly wage: $30

The calculation would be:

$5,000 (Property) + $1,200 (Medical) + (7 × $30) = $5,000 + $1,200 + $210 = $6,410
