Weekly temporary disability (TD) calculator

By the CalCompGuide editorial team · Last updated November 2026 · How we write and check guides

Temporary total disability is two-thirds of your gross average weekly wage, within a minimum and maximum set by the date of injury (Labor Code §4653). For 2026 injuries the range is $264.61 to $1,764.11 per week. Enter your pay to see the estimate and the math.

How the estimate works

• Average weekly wage: your gross weekly earnings, including regular overtime, tips, commissions and pay from a second job at the time of injury (LC §4453).
• Two-thirds: TD is 2/3 of that amount.
• 2026 limits: if your AWW is under $396.92 the rate is $264.61; over $2,646.17 the rate is $1,764.11 (DWC benefits table).
• Partial TD: if you work light duty at reduced pay, you generally get 2/3 of the wage loss instead.
