Calculators

Brown Economic launched the Income Damages CalculatorTM ("IDC") in May, 2007. The calculator computes past and future income loss claims for a fee per case. For jurisdictions where income tax and collateral benefits must be deducted (BC, Alberta after 2004, Saskatchewan, Ontario and New Brunswick), the IDC is able to calculate taxes based on information supplied by Deloitte & Touche LLP [Calgary] and credits selected by the user. Past losses include pre-judgment interest, and future losses are discounted to present value. Default data are supplied for all economic assumptions. For salary information, the user can input his/her own estimate for the claimant’s salary, or draw from Brown Economic’s extensive database of salaries by occupation & education. The IDC produces estimates that will refine counsel’s own attempt at calculating losses, and substitute, at a lower price, for expert reports that simply "run numbers". A PDF report is provided and an on-line receipt is emailed directly to the user.
