About Discrimination Claim Estimate Calculator

Discrimination awards combine an injury-to-feelings element assessed in tariff bands, financial loss which is generally uncapped, aggravated damages where the employer's conduct made matters worse, and interest. The banding, not argument about severity, usually decides the non-financial element.

Formula

Total award

Total = (Injury to feelings band + Loss of earnings + Aggravated damages) x (1 + Interest %)

Frequently Asked Questions

Which band applies?

The lower band covers one-off incidents, the middle band serious cases not meriting the top band, and the upper band lengthy campaigns of harassment.

Is loss of earnings capped in discrimination claims?

Typically not, which is why discrimination claims can far exceed ordinary unfair dismissal awards.
