How we calculate this
Industry rates and claim costs are planning estimates drawn from published occupational-injury ranges (BLS, Safe Work Australia). They are scaled for this calculator, not copied from a single table, and are not a forecast for your workplace.
Savings use a conservative 40% MSD cost reduction — the midpoint of the 35–59% range cited in NIOSH (2018) and HFES research for structured programmes. Productivity losses use $500 per lost day. Figures are illustrative, not a quote or guarantee.
