How this calculator works
Sums each year's projected loss, grown at the user-entered rate, discounted by (1+discount rate)^year. Assumes end-of-year payments.
Professional verification required. This is an informational worksheet, not a legal conclusion. Verify governing law, court rules, fee agreements, facts and any applicable exceptions before acting.
Questions attorneys ask
Does this determine the legally appropriate discount rate?
No. Any legally required rate or jury instructions depend on venue and case type.
Does the result include mortality or worklife probabilities?
No. Adjust the assumptions with qualified testimony if those factors matter.
