- What is the case type (PI, WD adult, WD pediatric, or employment)?
- What is annual but-for earnings and expected annual residual/mitigation earnings?
- What fringe rate should be applied to but-for earnings?
- How many years are in the past loss period and future loss horizon?
- What growth and discount rates should be used for this rough estimate?
- Any annual healthcare or household services losses to include?
- Any consequential damages and uncertainty range to apply?

Core earnings inputs: pre/post-injury wages, return to work, and fringe rate.
$
$
Check if the plaintiff returned to work after a disability period. Loss will only apply from DOI to RTW date.
$
Annual earnings after returning to work. If same as pre-injury, leave at 0 or match pre-injury value.
Check if the plaintiff has a permanent reduced earning capacity starting at MMI. Loss = baseline − residual capacity.
$
Annual earning capacity after MMI. Loss each year = baseline earnings − this amount.

📚 Research-Based Net Discount Rate NAFE Literature
The net discount rate (NDR) approach combines wage growth and discount rate into a single differential. This is the dominant method used by forensic economists (Brookshire et al., 2012; 2017 NAFE Survey).
%
Net discount rate for earnings (discount rate minus wage growth).
%
Net discount rate for medical costs. Typically negative since medical CPI > general CPI.
Adjusts earnings by lifecycle pattern (concave: lower for young/old, peak at 45-55). Based on Census data (Thornton & Ward, 2002).
%
Medical CPI typically exceeds general CPI by 2-3% (Ewing et al., 2002; 2006).

Healthcare Discounting
When unchecked, healthcare uses the global discount rate from the PV/Discounting tab.
When checked, healthcare costs are valued from the report date forward only — no costs between DOI and report date.

Duration = 0 means "through LCP life expectancy." Growth rates auto-fill from CPI series. Cost Basis defines whether Unit Cost is per occurrence or already annualized.
