General Formula for Average Weekly Wage:
AWW = (Total Earnings ÷ Total Days Paid) × Workdays Factor ÷ 52
- Total Earnings ÷ Total Days Paid
This gives the average daily wage based on actual earnings and days worked in the year prior to the injury. - × Workdays Factor
The Workdays Factor (e.g., 260 for a 5-day workweek) annualizes the daily wage to reflect a full year’s earnings based on a standard work schedule. - ÷ 52
Divides the annualized wage by 52 weeks to determine the average weekly wage.
