Claim Evaluation Amount Calculator

Work out claim evaluation amount instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Claim Evaluation Amount Calculator

Claim evaluation applies two independent filters: how much of the claim is supported by evidence, and how much of that falls within contractual entitlement. Both must hold, so the assessed value is the product of the two percentages, then netted against any counterclaim.

Formulas

Assessed value

Assessed = Claimed amount x Substantiated % x Contractual entitlement %

Net position

Net = Assessed value - Counterclaim value

Worked example

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
Indicative estimate only. Fees, entitlements, limits and formulas vary by jurisdiction, statute, policy wording and the facts of the case. This is not legal, tax, insurance or financial advice — confirm with a qualified professional or the relevant authority.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why multiply the two percentages?

Because evidence and entitlement are separate tests. A well-documented cost that the contract does not allow for is still not payable.

Should the counterclaim be netted or pursued separately?

Netting is usually more efficient and reflects how a tribunal would settle, but keep the two assessments documented separately.
