Indiana rule sheet
| Benefit formula | 66⅔% of your average weekly wage, with the wage counted only up to the statutory cap.[1] |
|---|---|
| Maximum weekly | $877.33 a week for injuries from Jul 1, 2026 [1] |
| Minimum weekly | $50.00. The minimum works out to $50 (two-thirds of the $75 wage floor), but the benefit never exceeds your actual average weekly wage.[1] |
| How the limits are set | Indiana caps the wage in the statute ($1,316 a week for injuries from July 1, 2026; $1,278 the year before), so the maximum benefit is two-thirds of that cap. The same section floors the wage at $75. |
| Waiting period | No pay for the first 7 days; they are paid if the disability continues longer than 21 days.[1] |
| How long TTD lasts | Not to exceed 500 weeks; aggregate maximum compensation (excluding medical) $439,000 for injuries on/after July 1, 2026 ($426,000 for 7/1/2025-6/30/2026)[1] |
| Partial (TPD) | 66⅔% of the difference between AWW and weekly wages actually earned after injury, up to 300 weeks; prior TTD period counts toward the 300.[1] |
| Average weekly wage | Earnings in the employment at time of injury during the 52 weeks immediately preceding injury ÷ 52; if 7+ calendar days lost, divide by remaining weeks; if employed <52 weeks, divide by weeks worked; allowances in lieu of wages included.[1] |
Worked example, Oct 5, 2026
- Average weekly wage$1,000.00
- 66⅔% of wage$666.67
- Inside the $50.00–$877.33 band$666.67
- Off work 28 days: waiting days paid back, 28 days paid$2,666.68
- Indiana TTD per week$666.67
A higher earner at $2,500.00 a week would get $877.33 — the Indiana maximum, not $1,666.67. A worker earning $300.00 would get $200.00.

What trips people up in Indiana
- The statutory cap is on AWW by date of injury ($1,316 for injuries on/after 7/1/2026), so the max weekly benefit is 2/3 of that.[1]
- Weekly compensation can never exceed the worker's actual AWW (affects the $75 AWW floor).[1]
- Total compensation for an injury (excluding medical) is capped: $439,000 for injuries on/after July 1, 2026.[1]
- Benefits are not taxable (WCB FAQ).[2]
