Result is an estimate. Real settlement amounts depend on factors the calculator does not model: open vs closed medical, future medical projections, vocational rehab, and negotiation. Confirm with the Nevada Department of Business & Industry, Division of Industrial Relations, Workers' Compensation Section or a licensed workers comp lawyer.
Nevada PPD formula in plain words
- Take your average weekly wage in the 52 weeks before the injury.
- Multiply by two-thirds. That is your raw comp rate.
- If the raw rate exceeds $1,364.15, the Nevada cap kicks in and the rate becomes $1,364.15.
- Multiply the resulting weekly rate by the number of scheduled weeks for the body part (see the Nevada chart).
- Scale by the impairment rating the doctor assigned. A 100% rating returns the full schedule value; a 25% rating returns one-quarter.
Worked examples for Nevada
Three workers, same injury (200 scheduled weeks, 30% impairment rating), three different pre-injury wages. The cap and floor decide who gets what.
| Pre-injury wage | Two-thirds raw | After cap/floor | PPD payout |
|---|---|---|---|
| $500/wk | $333.33 | $333.33 | $19,999.80 |
| $1,500/wk | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $60,000.00 |
| $3,500/wk | $2,333.33 | $1,364.15 | $81,849.00 |
60 = 30% × 200 scheduled weeks. Multiply the after-cap weekly rate by that figure to land on the PPD payout.
