Find your weekly workers' comp check
Pick your state, enter what you earned before the injury, and see the weekly temporary disability payment worked out from that state's 2026 rate table, with the statute behind each step.
How workers' comp weekly pay is figured
Every state on this site starts from your average weekly wage, the gross pay you earned before the injury, usually averaged over the previous 13 or 52 weeks. The state then pays a share of it, most often two-thirds, while you cannot work. That share is held between a weekly maximum and minimum that the state resets every year, and the table that applies is the one in force on your date of injury, not today's date.
Two more rules change the total you receive. Most states do not pay the first few days off (three or seven) unless the disability lasts long enough, and many limit how many weeks temporary benefits can run. If you go back to work at lower pay, most states pay part of the difference as temporary partial disability.
We cover ten states whose agencies do not publish their own online benefit calculator. Each figure links to the notice it came from. Read the state guides for deadlines and common questions, or connect the calculator to Claude or ChatGPT.
