Oklahoma Workers Comp Settlement Calculator

Oklahoma is a scheduled-loss state and pays 66⅔% of your average weekly wage , capped at $1,280.84 per week. Enter your average weekly wage before the injury and the doctor's impairment rating; this calculator returns the Oklahoma permanent partial disability award using the actual state formula.

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 Oklahoma Workers' Compensation Commission or a licensed workers comp lawyer.

Oklahoma PPD formula in plain words

  1. Take your average weekly wage in the 52 weeks before the injury.
  2. Multiply by two-thirds. That is your raw comp rate.
  3. If the raw rate exceeds $1,280.84, the Oklahoma cap kicks in and the rate becomes $1,280.84.
  4. Multiply the resulting weekly rate by the number of scheduled weeks for the body part (see the Oklahoma chart).
  5. 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 Oklahoma

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 $1,280.84 $76,850.40

60 = 30% × 200 scheduled weeks. Multiply the after-cap weekly rate by that figure to land on the PPD payout.
