How This Estimate Is Calculated
Here's the math: Tennessee's benefit rate and cap, combined with how Amputation — Toe/Foot claims typically resolve.
Tennessee pays 67% of your average weekly wage, up to a maximum of $1150/week. For a Amputation — Toe/Foot claim, the typical temporary disability period is 14 weeks, with settlement multipliers ranging 1.8x–4.0x. See the full methodology for where this range comes from and what it doesn't include.
Here's the actual math: on a $1,000 average weekly wage, Tennessee's formula puts your weekly benefit at $667. Over the typical 14-week recovery window for Amputation — Toe/Foot, that's $9,334 in wage-replacement before any settlement multiplier is applied. Multiplying that by this injury's typical 1.8x–4.0x range is what produces the $16,800–$37,300 estimate above. Your own number will differ based on your real wage — use the calculator on the homepage to plug in your actual figure.
What This Estimate Doesn't Account For

Because surgery is a likely part of treatment for Amputation — Toe/Foot, whether it's actually needed in your case is one of the biggest single factors in where your real settlement lands relative to this range.
