Workers Compensation Benefits Estimator
Estimate weekly workers compensation benefits based on your average weekly wage and state benefit rates.
How Workers Comp Benefits Work
Workers compensation pays approximately 66.67% (two-thirds) of your average weekly wage in most states, subject to a state maximum. Benefits are tax-free — you do not pay federal or state income tax on workers comp payments. There is typically a 3-7 day waiting period before benefits begin, but if your disability extends beyond 14-21 days, the waiting period is retroactively paid.
Types of Disability Benefits
Temporary Total (TTD): Cannot work at all temporarily — full benefit rate. Temporary Partial (TPD): Can do some work — reduced benefit. Permanent Partial (PPD): Lasting impairment but can still work — rated by impairment percentage. Permanent Total (PTD): Cannot work at all permanently — benefits for life in most states.
Workers comp keywords have $15-30 CPC. Injured workers searching for benefit calculations are in a high-intent, high-value demographic for personal injury attorneys who advertise heavily on these terms.
