About This Site

Our Mission

Legal Claim Calculators was built with one goal: to help everyday people understand their legal rights and the value of their claims before they walk into an attorney's office — or decide that one isn't necessary.

We believe that access to legal information should not be gatekept by expensive consultations or buried in legal jargon. Our tools use the same formulas and frameworks that attorneys and insurance adjusters use, presented in a way anyone can understand.

Our Tools

We currently offer 10 free, specialized legal calculators:

• Personal Injury Settlement Estimator — Uses the multiplier method (1.5x - 5x) to estimate accident claim values based on specials and general damages.
• Workers' Compensation Calculator — Based on state-specific AWW (Average Weekly Wage) benefit formulas and permanent partial disability (PPD) schedules.
• SSDI Benefit Estimator — Uses the Social Security Administration's official AIME/PIA formula with updated 2025 bend points.
• DUI/DWI True Cost Calculator — Itemizes real-world financial impacts including fines, SR-22 insurance spikes, and legal defense averages.
• Wrongful Termination Estimator — Based on Title VII and ADEA damage frameworks, including back pay and potential liquidated damages.
• Alimony / Spousal Support Calculator — Income-gap based estimates utilizing standard state approaches (like the Durational or Reimbursement models).
• Child Support Calculator — Utilizes the Income Shares Model used by the majority of U.S. states to estimate monthly obligations.
• Medical Malpractice Estimator — Analyzes potential damages for professional negligence, failure to treat, and surgical errors.
• Dog Bite Settlement Tool — Evaluates liability standards and settlement ranges for canine-inflicted injuries and scarring.
• Non-Compete Enforceability Checker — A logic-based analyzer scoring agreements against the latest 2025 state and federal enforceability standards.

How We Build Our Calculators

Each calculator is based on publicly available legal frameworks: statutory benefit schedules, federal sentencing guidelines, SSA actuarial data, Title VII damage caps, and published legal research on settlement averages. We do not invent numbers — we codify the same analytical frameworks used by legal professionals.

All calculations happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript. We do not receive, transmit, store, or have access to any data you enter into our calculators.

Important Limitations

Our calculators produce estimates, not legal advice, and are intended for educational purposes only. Settlement values and outcomes in real cases depend on dozens of factors our tools cannot capture: specific contract language, witness credibility, the quality of your attorney, the specific judge or jury, the employer's financial situation, and much more.

Do not make legal decisions based solely on the output of any calculator on this site. Always consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction before taking legal action.
