Workers' Comp Calculators by State

By Ray Tolu Last verified October 12, 2026

Quick answer: Most states pay about two-thirds of your average weekly wage while you can't work after a job injury, up to a weekly maximum the state resets every year. Texas pays 70%. Federal employees get two-thirds, or three-fourths with a dependent.
