Use this STAT Pay Calculator Ontario to determine your weekly compensation for work-related injuries. STAT Pay is a benefit provided by the Ontario government to workers who are unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness.
What is STAT Pay?
STAT Pay stands for Statutory Accident Benefits. It's a weekly benefit provided by the Ontario government to workers who are unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness. STAT Pay is intended to provide temporary financial support while you recover from your injury or illness.
The benefit is calculated based on your average weekly earnings and the number of weeks you're unable to work. The maximum duration for STAT Pay is typically 52 weeks, but this can vary depending on your specific circumstances.
STAT Pay is different from Workers' Compensation benefits. Workers' Compensation provides medical benefits and may cover lost wages, but STAT Pay is specifically for workers who are unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness.
How to Calculate STAT Pay
The calculation for STAT Pay is based on your average weekly earnings. Here's how it works:
STAT Pay Formula:
STAT Pay = (Average Weekly Earnings × 0.55) × Number of Weeks
Where:
- Average Weekly Earnings = Total Earnings in the 52 weeks before the injury / 52
- 0.55 is the statutory rate set by the Ontario government
- Number of Weeks = The number of weeks you're unable to work
For example, if you earned $1,000 per week on average and were unable to work for 4 weeks, your STAT Pay would be:
$1,000 × 0.55 = $550 per week
$550 × 4 weeks = $2,200 total STAT Pay
The maximum amount you can receive in STAT Pay is $2,200 per year, regardless of how many weeks you're unable to work.
