About WorkCompCalc
WorkCompCalc.com is a free resource built to help injured American workers understand their workers' compensation benefits — without paying for it, signing up for anything, or giving away their email.
Our Mission
We believe every injured worker deserves clear, accurate information about their rights and benefits. The problem is, most existing resources are either run by law firms trying to sell you their services, or government sites with confusing interfaces built in 2008.
WorkCompCalc fills that gap. We're neutral, modern, and worker-focused. Our calculators use official data from each state's Workers' Compensation Board, updated for 2026. We cross-reference multiple government sources to ensure accuracy.
How We Work
Our calculators use the standard workers' compensation benefit formula:
Each state sets its own benefit rate (typically 66.67% of your average weekly wage), maximum and minimum benefit amounts, waiting periods, and duration limits. We maintain data for all 50 states plus Washington D.C.
Our Team
Adam Noah
Lead Research Analyst
Adam Noah is the lead research analyst at WorkCompCalc.com. With a background in data analytics and workplace policy, Adam has dedicated his career to making workers' compensation information accessible to everyone — not just lawyers and insurance adjusters. He's personally analyzed workers' comp statutes in all 50 states and built free tools to help injured workers understand their rights. When he's not buried in state labor board data, he's probably arguing that workers' comp systems need serious reform.
We are not lawyers and do not provide legal advice. Our goal is to give you the information you need to make informed decisions about your workers' compensation claim.
