How this calculator works
Past = max(0, original monthly pay × months − replacement earnings). Future = max(0, old monthly pay − current capacity) × future months; nominal dollars only, no benefits, tax, discount or growth.
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.
