Example of Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Calculator
Let’s take an example to illustrate how the Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Calculator works:
Suppose your weekly average income is $1,200. According to the formula:
- If your income is $1,807.51 or above, you would receive a maximum compensation of $1,205.
- In your case, your income falls between $903.76 and $1,807.50. Therefore, you are entitled to 66 2/3% of your weekly pay.
So, if you were to miss work due to a work-related injury, your estimated compensation would be $1,200 * 66.67% = $800.04.
