Illustrative gross ~$139,333; after moderate case strength and mitigation risk, ~$95,638. Planning band about $78,423 – $107,115.

Monthly wage comes from annual salary. Lost wages multiply monthly wage by months claimed. Total economic damages add lost benefits, other economic entries, and your accommodation or medical out-of-pocket line. Emotional distress is modeled as a multiple of that total economic figure—an informal sensitivity only. The gross total is scaled by case strength and reduced for mitigation risk, then shown with a negotiation band.
Economic = lost wages + other benefits + accommodation/OOPEmotional ≈ multiplier × economicAdjusted = gross × strength × (100% − mitigation %)Wages, accommodation costs, generals—then caps, fees, and agency remedies
Illustrative recovery after strength and mitigation: $95,638; band $78,423 – $107,115.
Punitive damages, fee-shifting, and tax treatment of settlements are not modeled.
