How This Calculator Works

Calculation methodology and assumptions

This calculator estimates Washington's Temporary Total Disability (TTD) workers' compensation benefit -- the ongoing wage-replacement payment made while you are completely unable to work due to a job injury -- using a family-status-based schedule (60% to 75% of your wages), per RCW 51.32.060. Unlike most states' flat two-thirds rule, Washington uses a family-status schedule under RCW 51.32.060: unmarried workers with no dependents receive 60% of wages, while married workers receive 65% (no children) scaling up to 75% (four or more children). Your actual benefit is also subject to the state's maximum time-loss/pension rate, published monthly by the WA Department of Labor & Industries and adjusted annually (2024: $8,913.80/month, per L&I Article 24-12), on the high end, and no statutory minimum weekly benefit was found in RCW 51.32.060 or 51.32.090, on the low end -- both change periodically, so this calculator shows the uncapped percentage-of-wage amount, and you should confirm the current published cap/floor with Washington's workers' compensation agency before relying on this estimate for a specific dollar figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is a workers' comp TTD benefit calculated in Washington?

Washington pays a family-status-based schedule (60% to 75% of your wages) while you are temporarily and totally unable to work due to a job-related injury or illness, per RCW 51.32.060.

Is there a maximum or minimum weekly benefit?

Yes. The benefit is capped at the state's maximum time-loss/pension rate, published monthly by the WA Department of Labor & Industries and adjusted annually (2024: $8,913.80/month, per L&I Article 24-12), and floored at no statutory minimum weekly benefit was found in RCW 51.32.060 or 51.32.090. Because these figures are typically tied to a state average weekly wage that is republished annually, check with Washington's workers' compensation agency for the current dollar amount rather than relying solely on this calculator's uncapped estimate.

Does this calculator estimate my lump-sum settlement amount?

No. This tool estimates only your ongoing weekly wage-replacement (TTD) benefit while you remain temporarily and totally disabled. A lump-sum workers' comp settlement additionally depends on your permanent impairment rating, future medical costs, vocational/return-to-work factors, and case-specific negotiation between you (or your attorney) and the insurer -- none of which a wage-replacement calculator can responsibly estimate.

What counts as my "average weekly wage" in Washington?

Most states calculate this from your gross wages (before taxes) over a set look-back period before your injury -- commonly 13 weeks, though some states use up to a full year for seasonal or part-year workers. Check with your state's workers' comp agency for the exact look-back period that applies to your claim.

Are workers' comp benefits taxable?

No. Workers' compensation benefits paid under a workers' comp act are generally fully exempt from federal and state income tax, per IRC §104(a)(1) -- unlike a lawsuit settlement for lost wages, which is typically taxable. See our Legal Settlement Tax Calculator if you're dealing with a separate personal injury lawsuit rather than a standard workers' comp claim.
