Compensation Calculator
This personal injury compensation calculator provides a guide to the amount of compensation you might expect to receive for certain types of injury if you decide to claim for personal injury following an accident that was not your fault.
By clicking on any of the pulsating crosses, you will see the maximum and minimum compensation awards you could expect to receive for the types of injury shown, broken down into degrees of severity, each outlining expressed as a range of possible compensation awards.
The figures shown come from the 18th edition of the Judicial College Guidelines, published 9th April 2026. They only relate to ‘general damages’, i.e., compensation for pain and suffering (physical and mental injury) and loss of amenity (compensation for the injury’s effect on your enjoyment of life). General Damages do not include special damages; financial losses such as loss of earnings for taking time of work to recover.
The best way to use our compensation calculator is to consider it as a rough guide to general damages and then read our short articles, ‘What are the Judicial College Guidelines’ and ‘How much is the average personal injury worth?

Whiplash Injuries
On 31 May 2021, the government introduced new rules for whiplash compensation claims in England and Wales. If you are aged 18 or over and suffer a whiplash injury while travelling as a driver or passenger in a car, you will usually receive a fixed amount of compensation for that injury, provided it lasts no longer than two years.
The amount depends on how long your injury lasts and whether you also suffer a minor psychological injury. The original compensation tariffs were increased for accidents occurring on or after 31 May 2025. The table below shows the updated figures.
| Duration of injury | Amount for Whiplash | Amount for whiplash and minor psychological injury |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 3 months | £275 | £300 |
| 3-6 months | £565 | £595 |
| 6-9 months | £965 | £1,025 |
| 9-12 months | £1,510 | £1,595 |
| 12-15 months | £2,335 | £2,435 |
| 15-18 months | £3,445 | £3,550 |
| 18-24 months | £4,830 | £4,975 |
The new rules do not apply to whiplash injuries sustained in accidents at work or slip, trip or fall accidents and they do not apply to:
- Pedestrians
- Cyclists
- Motorcyclists (and pillion passengers)
- Scooter riders
- Minors – persons under 18 years of age
Under the whiplash reforms, if the compensation for your injuries is valued at £5,000 or less, and your total claim is worth no more than £10,000, your claim will normally be dealt with under the small claims procedure.
This means that, in most cases, you will not be able to recover the cost of using a solicitor from the other driver’s insurer, even if your claim is successful.
