Economic Damages Calculator

Present-value economic damages worksheet: discount a growing future lost-earnings stream to present value (year-by-year loop cross-checked against the closed-form geometric sum), compute wrongful-death economic loss net of personal consumption, and apply a general-damages multiplier (a negotiation heuristic, clearly labeled - not a legal formula).

What it is

Present-value economic damages worksheet: discount a growing future lost-earnings stream to present value (year-by-year loop cross-checked against the closed-form geometric sum), compute wrongful-death economic loss net of personal consumption, and apply a general-damages multiplier (a negotiation heuristic, clearly labeled - not a legal formula). Applies the California MICRA non-economic cap (Civ. Code 3333.2 as amended by AB 35) automatically to California medical-malpractice non-economic damages, on the scheduled amount for the judgment year; for any jurisdiction whose cap is not embedded it says so rather than guessing. Discount rate, growth rate, and work-life expectancy are expert/economist inputs, flagged throughout. In-browser, no data leaves the page. Research aid, not legal or economic advice.

Honest scope

Deterministic and citation-backed: every figure is exact arithmetic or a cited rule. Any year- or jurisdiction-indexed value is a confirmable input, never an eternal hardcode. This is a computation tool, not professional (legal, tax, medical, or financial) advice - confirm against the controlling authority for your context.
