Claim details

Direct and treatment-related losses

Dependant living expenses / 被扶养人生活费

For one dependant, enter the qualifying years. If multiple dependant periods overlap, select that below so the tool does not overstate the statutory annual cap.
When dependants overlap, the annual total is capped and a year-by-year calculation is required.
Legal basis

Core disability formula

Disability compensation is estimated as: forum court's previous-year urban per-capita disposable income × applicable compensation years × disability coefficient. The default period is 20 years; above age 60 it reduces by one year for each additional year of age; at age 75 and above it is 5 years.

Dependants' living expenses are estimated using the forum court's previous-year urban per-capita consumption expenditure, adjusted by the victim's loss-of-work-capacity/disability level, the dependant period and the number of responsible supporters.
