Singapore work injury compensation: WICA calculator guide

Open the Singapore WICA calculator for permanent incapacity and medical expenses. Check AME, the official age multiplier, injury date and MOM compensation limits.

WICA treats medical leave wages, medical expenses and lump-sum permanent incapacity compensation separately. The WICA tool below calculates indicative permanent incapacity using AME and a verified age factor, and shows eligible medical expenses separately. Medical leave wages require the official leave-day calculation; this site does not combine those benefits into a settlement price.

Choose the applicable scheme and benefit type. These tools calculate selected statutory benefits, not a settlement, and do not determine coverage or legal entitlement.

Singapore WICA benefit areas

WICA limits, average monthly earnings, medical leave, and permanent incapacity rules can change. Verify the current Ministry of Manpower guidance for the injury date.

Singapore WICA questions

Who is covered by WICA?
Coverage depends on the worker, employment, injury, and statutory conditions. Check the Ministry of Manpower guidance before assuming a claim is covered.
What earnings should I enter?
Use the average monthly earnings definition and the records requested for the claim. The weekly input here is only a planning conversion.
Does this calculate the official WICA award?
It gives an indicative permanent incapacity amount using the MOM formula and verified age factor, with the relevant injury-date limits. The Commissioner still determines eligibility and the final award.
Are medical expenses part of the same number?
They are a separate benefit question. Keep approved medical expenses and wage compensation separate when you compare records or discuss a claim.
Are all regions and benefit types supported?
No. The linked tools cover the named schemes and benefits only. Other regions, death benefits, common-law claims and special categories need separate official rules.
