How WorkersCompCalc sources its numbers and who is responsible for them.

This page covers who runs WorkersCompCalc, how the tools are built, and where the numbers come from.

Who runs this site

Chris Terry

WorkersCompCalc is run by Chris Terry, who oversees the calculators and editorial content and is responsible for their accuracy and upkeep.

How our tools are built

Each calculator is built on published state benefit schedules and standard workers' comp formulas. We document the assumptions on each tool page and update the numbers when rates change. Nothing you enter is collected or stored.

Our sources

Figures come from state workers' compensation statutes and published benefit schedules. Where rules vary by state or change annually, we say so and link to the authoritative source.

Editorial independence and corrections

The goal is to give you a number you can actually use. Some links are affiliate links that may earn a commission at no cost to you. They do not influence the math. If you find an error, let us know and we will correct it.

Bottom line: use these tools to understand the shape of your claim, not to replace a licensed workers' comp attorney's review of it. Figures are checked against the sourcing above, but state rules and the facts of your case can move the real number.
