A CLEARER PICTURE AFTER AN ACCIDENT

Add up the costs. Understand the next step.

Medical bills, time away from work, and getting your family around can add up quickly. Use this simple worksheet to organize the financial impact of an accident.

Free to use · No personal details needed

Bring the numbers together.

Keep your bills, receipts, repair estimates, and work records nearby. You do not need every number to get started.

  1. Add expenses once

    Enter accident-related amounts only. Include paid and unpaid bills, and avoid counting the same expense in more than one category.

  2. Separate future estimates

    Use a written treatment estimate when available. Future medical costs appear separately, so you can see which part of your total is still an estimate.

  3. Include time away from work

    Enter missed work hours and your gross hourly pay. For salary, self-employment, overtime, or changing pay, use your records and discuss the calculation with your employer or adviser.

This worksheet shows costs before insurance payments, reimbursements, or other offsets. It does not estimate your settlement, what you owe, or what you may recover.

Your accident-cost worksheet.

All amounts are in US dollars. Every field is optional; blank fields count as $0. Enter at least one amount to see a total.

01 / Accident-related expenses

Use numbers without $ signs or commas, with up to two decimal places. Expense limit: $100,000,000 per field.

Accident-related bills already received, whether paid or unpaid. Include only amounts not listed elsewhere.

Planned accident-related care not already billed. Leave blank if you do not have an estimate.

Accident-related damage to your vehicle or other property. Use a repair estimate or replacement amount; do not count both for the same item.

For example, rental cars, rides, or travel for accident-related appointments. Do not include costs already counted above.

Additional receipts or expenses not included in the categories above. Exclude missed income, which is calculated below.

02 / Time away from work

Enter both missed hours and hourly pay, or leave both blank. Do not include this income loss again under other expenses.

Up to 100,000 hours, with up to two decimal places.

Gross pay before taxes, up to $100,000 per hour.

KEEP WHAT TELLS YOUR STORY

A few records can make the picture clearer.

The worksheet is a starting point for a conversation. Keep the documents behind each number so you can explain where it came from.

01

Bills and treatment estimates

Keep itemized medical bills and written estimates. Note which amounts are final, pending, or estimated.

02

Receipts and repair records

Save repair estimates, invoices, travel receipts, and other accident-related expenses. Count each item once.

03

Work and pay records

Keep pay stubs and a record of missed hours. Separate ordinary wages from overtime, leave benefits, and other income.

What this number can help you do.

  • Organize the expenses you already know about.
  • See how future medical estimates affect the total.
  • Prepare a clearer list of questions for your insurer or attorney.
  • Identify bills, estimates, or work records you still need.
