Our Methodology
We source benefit rates, formulas, and caps directly from each state’s official workers’ compensation agency. The data is reviewed annually, cross-checked against NCCI rate filings, and updated every January when states release new rate schedules. Each calculator and state page lists the underlying sources at the bottom.
