New York workers' comp benefit calculator
Estimate your weekly check or the value of a permanent injury, using the exact statutory maximums and minimums for your date of injury. These are educational estimates — your actual award depends on medical evidence and Board findings.
- Weekly benefit = ⅔ × average weekly wage × % of disability, capped at the state maximum.
- The calculator clamps to the correct maximum and minimum for your injury year (2007–2026).
- Schedule Loss of Use = weeks × % loss × weekly rate.
What's my weekly benefit?
Enter your gross average weekly wage and your medical disability percentage. We apply the ⅔ formula and clamp to the min/max for your injury period.
Reduced-earnings note: if you return to lower-paid work, benefits are roughly ⅔ of the difference between your old and new wages, subject to the same cap.
Estimates only. They don't account for concurrent employment, offsets, prior awards, Social Security coordination, or attorney fees, and they assume your wage is high enough that the ⅔ figure controls. Confirm any real number with the Board or counsel.
