Enter the total days lost to injury and the average earnings per day ($) into the Injury Cost Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Injury Cost. 

Injury Cost Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Injury Cost. 

IC = DL * EPD
  • Where IC is the Injury Cost ($)
  • DL is the total days lost to injury 
  • EPD is the average earnings per day ($) 

To calculate the injury cost, multiply the days lost to injury by the average earnings per day.

How to Calculate Injury Cost?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Injury Cost.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total days lost to injury. The total days lost to injury is given as 50.
  2. Next, determine the average earnings per day ($). The average earnings per day ($) is provided as 100.
  3. Finally, calculate the Injury Cost using the equation above: 

IC = DL * EPD

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

IC = 50 * 100 = 5000 ($)

Example Problem #2: 

The variables needed for this problem are provided below:

total days lost to injury = 60

average earnings per day ($) = 200

Entering these values and solving gives:

IC = DL * EPD = 24,000 ($)
