    Supermarket compensation calculator

    Quick answer

    This calculator illustrates how Judicial College Guideline brackets for back and head injuries combine with financial losses you enter, such as earnings and care. It is not a valuation of any claim: the real figure depends on medical evidence, whether the store is liable and how the injury affects your life.

    See how published Judicial College Guideline brackets for back and head injuries combine with financial losses you enter yourself. It is an illustration, not a valuation.

    Illustration only, using Judicial College Guidelines (18th edition, April 2026) brackets for England and Wales (source) plus the figures you typed. It does not account for whether the store is liable, any reduction for your own part in the accident, other losses, interest, costs or deductions. Scotland and Northern Ireland use different guidance. Real outcomes depend on medical and other evidence.
