Your Estimate Is Just the Starting Point
This calculator uses Ohio's standard benefit formulas to estimate your weekly compensation.
However, your actual benefits may be different.
Many injured workers receive less than they should because their wages were calculated incorrectly or important earnings weren't included.
Your benefit amount may be affected by:
- Overtime pay
- Bonuses and commissions
- Working multiple jobs
- Seasonal employment
- Shift differentials
- Average Weekly Wage (AWW) calculation errors
- Changes in Ohio workers' compensation laws
Even a small mistake in your Average Weekly Wage can cost hundreds—or even thousands—of dollars over the life of your claim.
Could You Be Receiving Less Than You Deserve?
We've helped injured Ohio workers whose benefits were lower than they should have been because:
✔ Overtime wasn't included.
✔ Their employer reported incorrect wages.
✔ The wrong benefit category was used.
✔ Their Average Weekly Wage was calculated incorrectly.

You don't have to figure this out on your own.

How Ohio Workers' Compensation Benefits Are Calculated
Ohio workers' compensation benefits are generally based on your Average Weekly Wage (AWW).
Your AWW is typically determined using your earnings before your workplace injury.
Depending on your claim, you may qualify for benefits such as:
Temporary Total Disability (TTD)
If your injury prevents you from working at all, you may receive weekly benefits while you're unable to return to work.
For many claims:
- First 12 weeks: approximately 72% of your Average Weekly Wage
- After 12 weeks: approximately 66⅔% of your Average Weekly Wage
State minimums and maximums may apply.
Permanent Total Disability (PTD)
If your injuries permanently prevent you from returning to work, you may qualify for long-term weekly compensation based on Ohio law.
Wage Loss Compensation
If you return to work but earn less because of your injury, you may qualify for Wage Loss Compensation based on the difference between your previous wages and your current earnings.
Common Questions
Is this calculator accurate?
It provides a reliable estimate using Ohio's standard benefit formulas. Every workers' compensation claim is different, so your actual benefits may vary.
What if my employer calculated my wages incorrectly?
Incorrect wage calculations happen more often than many people realize. If overtime, bonuses, or other earnings were left out, your weekly benefits may be lower than they should be.
Is workers' compensation taxable?
In most cases, Ohio workers' compensation benefits are not considered taxable income. Your individual situation may be different, so it's always best to ask an attorney or tax professional.
Can I work while receiving workers' compensation?
Sometimes. It depends on the type of benefits you're receiving and your medical restrictions. Returning to work without understanding how it affects your claim can impact your benefits.

Do I need a lawyer?
Not every workers' compensation claim requires an attorney.
However, if your claim has been denied, your wages were calculated incorrectly, your benefits have stopped, or you're unsure whether you're receiving everything you're entitled to, speaking with an experienced Ohio workers' compensation lawyer can help you understand your options.
