💼Workers' Comp Benefits Check FLWhat the checks should actually be
Florida

The check came. Is it the right number?

Florida comp pays two-thirds of your average weekly wage, up to a state cap, after a waiting week — and carriers get the wage wrong more often than you'd think: overtime left out, a second job ignored, the 13-week average done wrong. Type your pay and the dates. You get the number the law says, the caps and limits, every deadline, and the letter that asks the adjuster to fix it.

Free check

Your pay before the injury, and the claim.

What you earned in the 13 weeks before the injury (gross, including overtime and a second job), the injury date, whether you're fully off or on light duty, and what the carrier is paying.

Free. Takes a few seconds.

Why this exists

Two-thirds of the right number, or two-thirds of the wrong one.

The average weekly wage decides every check for the life of the claim. Overtime counts. Concurrent employment counts. The 13-week average has rules. Getting it corrected early is worth thousands — and the carrier won't volunteer it.

How it works

Compute the wage. Compute the check. Fix the gap.

01

Type your pay and the dates

The 13 weeks before the injury, overtime and second jobs included; the injury date; your work status; what the carrier pays.

02

See the number the law says

Average weekly wage, the 66⅔% TTD rate against the state cap, the waiting week, TPD math for light duty, impairment benefits after MMI, the 104-week limit — computed.

Send the letter

A written request to the adjuster to recompute the AWW with the wage statement (DWC-1A), the deadlines, and the free EAO and petition path if they refuse.

Common questions

How much should my workers' comp check actually be?

Type your pay before the injury, the injury date and where the claim stands, and the tool computes your average weekly wage and the 66⅔% temporary total disability rate against the state maximum. It also runs the temporary partial disability math if you're on light duty. The carrier's wage statement and the authorised doctor's status still control the real number — this is a check, not a filing.

Is it really free, and is what I paste stored?

Yes, it's free, in English and Spanish. The tool's own material describes it only as an informational calculator, not a filing service, and doesn't spell out data storage — so don't paste anything you wouldn't want kept, and don't rely on it to hold your records. It does not file petitions with the state or the carrier.

Why didn't I get paid for the first week I was out?

Florida comp has a 7-day waiting period rule built into the calculator's logic, which is why an initial gap can be normal rather than a mistake. Still, the carrier's wage statement and medical status are what actually control your case, so confirm your specific situation with them or with the agency.

What deadlines do I need to worry about?

The tool tracks the 30-day reporting deadline, the 2-year petition deadline, and the 104-week limit on certain benefits, computed from the dates you type. These come from Florida Statutes chapter 440 as reflected in the tool for 2025–26, but it is not legal advice — confirm any deadline with the Division of Workers' Compensation or an attorney before you rely on it.

Can I just use this instead of talking to a lawyer or the state?

No — it's not legal advice, and it doesn't affiliate with any employer, carrier or agency. If your check looks wrong or was denied, Florida's Employee Assistance Office (1-800-342-1741) offers free help, and workers' comp attorneys in Florida work on a fee schedule paid by the carrier if you win. The tool can generate a letter to the adjuster, but a professional should confirm the numbers for your actual claim.
