Common questions
What others asks before signing up?
How much compensation can I claim for a personal injury in Australia?
Compensation varies significantly based on claim type, injury severity, jurisdiction and individual circumstances. Workers compensation lump sums typically range from $10,000 to $500,000, motor vehicle accident claims from $5,000 to $750,000, and medical negligence claims from $50,000 to $2,000,000. This calculator provides an indicative range — your lawyer will assess the specifics of your case.
How accurate is this compensation estimate?
This calculator provides a general indication based on similar cases in your jurisdiction. Actual outcomes depend on evidence strength, medical assessments, statutory caps and negotiation. Your lawyer will provide a detailed assessment during your initial consultation.
Are legal fees included in my compensation or paid separately?
Most personal injury lawyers in Australia operate on a no-win-no-fee basis. Fees are typically deducted from your compensation at settlement. This calculator shows estimated legal costs separately so you understand the likely net outcome.
Can I embed this compensation calculator on my law firm website?
Yes. Leadkit calculators embed on WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix and Shopify with a single line of code. Your firm's branding, fee structure and disclaimers appear on every estimate.
What information do I receive when a potential claimant submits an enquiry?
You receive the claimant's name, email, phone, location, claim type, jurisdiction, injury severity, time off work, ongoing impact and any additional message — everything your intake team needs to assess the matter.
Do I need a website to use this calculator?
No. Leadkit generates a branded, SEO-optimised landing page for your calculator automatically. Share the link directly or embed on an existing site.
Which Australian states and compensation schemes are covered?
The calculator covers NSW (SIRA/CTP), Victoria (WorkSafe/TAC), Queensland (WorkCover), Western Australia and South Australia. Each jurisdiction applies state-specific adjustments to reflect local scheme differences.
Is Leadkit really free?
Yes. Free lets you add up to 3 calculators to your website and receive 10 leads per month — no credit card. Every lead beyond the cap is still captured and held for you; upgrading to Pro ($29/mo) opens them all retroactively and removes the cap.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You get an embed code (one line of HTML). Paste it into your website builder — Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or any custom site. That's it.
How accurate are the price estimates?
You configure the calculator formulas to match your actual pricing. Leadkit provides the framework; you set the numbers. Estimates can be as detailed or as rough as you like.
What happens with lead data?
All lead data is stored securely in your workspace. You own it. We never sell or share your leads with anyone.
Can I use Leadkit as an agency for multiple clients?
Yes — our Agency plan lets you create and manage separate workspaces for each of your clients, all from one dashboard.
What's the difference between the plans?
Free: up to 3 calculators, 10 leads/month (over-cap leads held + locked until upgrade). Pro: unlimited leads, unlimited calculators, white-label, branded email sending, analytics, email templates. Agency: everything in Pro plus multi-workspace management.

How it works
How this compensation estimate is calculated
This calculator provides an indicative compensation range based on publicly available data from similar cases across Australian jurisdictions. It is not a binding prediction. Actual outcomes depend on case-specific evidence, medical assessments, statutory caps, judicial discretion and negotiation between parties.
GST handling: GST applies to legal professional fees and disbursements in Australia. Compensation payments themselves are generally not subject to GST.
1
Claim type base value
Each claim type carries a median base value derived from reported settlement and award data across Australian jurisdictions.
claim_base_value = type-specific median
2
Severity and impact adjustment
The base value is adjusted by injury severity (minor through catastrophic) and long-term outcome (full recovery, partial, permanent impairment) using multipliers calibrated to reported outcomes.
3
Jurisdictional adjustment
State-specific factors account for differences in statutory schemes, caps, and typical award levels between NSW, VIC, QLD, WA and SA.
4
Lost earnings component
Time off work is multiplied by average weekly earnings to calculate the economic loss component of the claim.
5
Legal costs calculation
Professional fees are estimated as a percentage of compensation (reflecting no-win-no-fee arrangements), plus disbursements (medical reports, barristers, expert witnesses) and GST.
Compensation varies significantly by claim type, severity, jurisdiction and individual circumstances. The ranges below represent typical outcomes for resolved claims.

NSW and VIC typically produce higher award values due to larger populations, higher cost of living and more developed common law pathways. QLD, WA and SA awards tend to be lower on average but vary significantly by case.
