From your state's impairment/disability schedule, a claims adjuster, or your attorney. Every US state sets its own schedule assigning a number of weeks of compensation to specific injuries or impairment percentages, and they differ significantly from state to state — there's no single national table. This calculator doesn't guess that number for you; it takes the weeks you already have and does the wage, cap, and fee math around it.
