Calculator for personal injury

Personal-injury compensation under the Indicatieve Tabel, with every amount open to checking.

Doloris calculates compensation for personal injury under the Indicatieve Tabel, the Belgian reference table of indicative amounts for personal injury. You enter periods, degrees of incapacity and dates. Doloris works out the seven heads of damage and shows how the amounts are built up. The calculator itself is in Dutch.

The Doloris calculation sheet: head A, temporary household incapacity, with periods, degrees and amounts, and the stamp of the Indicatieve Tabel 2024.

The seven heads of damage

Seven heads of damage on one sheet

The sheet follows the structure of a Belgian damage assessment (schadebegroting). Each head of damage, or "post", has a letter, its own calculation and its own total. The total of the seven comes at the bottom.

Indicatieve Tabel

Every calculation carries the year of its table

The rates come from the Indicatieve Tabel, not from an estimate of our own. The year of the table is stamped on the sheet and shown with every total, and it goes into every export.

INDICATIEVE TABEL · RATES IN FORCE · YEAR2024RATES
  1. Doloris calculates with the Indicatieve Tabel 2024.
  2. For each year Doloris holds the daily amounts for the temporary heads of damage, the amount per point for permanent damage by age, the daily rates for Quantum Doloris, the aesthetic damage table and the hourly rate for help from third parties.
  3. Whoever reads the document sees at once which table was used.

A calculation you can check

Behind every amount, the calculation

A damage assessment has to be checkable, by the other party too. So Doloris shows the factors and the formula as well as the result.

Example: head C, temporary economic incapacity (TEO), shown in Dutch as it appears in the calculator.Point at an amount, focus it or tap it to open its card. Escape closes it.Werkdagen: working days. Dagtarief: daily rate. Graad: degree. Feestdagen: public holidays.
  • Per row

    Every row of heads A, B and C has a small card with the factors, the formula and the result, for example days times daily rate times degree.

  • Days

    The number of days follows from the dates you enter, from and up to and including.

  • Working days

    For TEO, Doloris counts working days: calendar days minus weekend days and the ten Belgian public holidays. The card names each holiday it left out.

  • Totals

    Every change is recalculated at once. The totals per head of damage and the overall total stay in view.

Capitalisation and interest

Capitalisation with the Schryvers tables, interest at the statutory rate

Both are optional and off by default. Once switched on, they appear on the sheet and in the export.

Capitalisation under head D

  • A yearly loss is converted into a lump sum with the Tafels Schryvers 2026, the capitalisation tables used in Belgian personal-injury practice, either for life or up to an end age between 55 and 75.
  • The coefficient is read at the victim’s age on the reference date (scharnierdatum), the date of the judgment or the settlement. Doloris states the edition, table, rate and coefficient, so you can look it up.
  • Discount rate: by default 0.5% for a period shorter than 15 years and 1% from 15 years. You can also pick another rate from the tables yourself.
  • The loss already suffered, from the consolidation date to the reference date, is calculated pro rata, separately from the future loss.

ExamplePost D · Kapitalisatie economische schade

CoëfficiëntTafels Schryvers 2026 · tot 67 jaar · 1 % · leeftijd op scharnierdatum: 42 jaar21,488
  • Jaarlijkse schade€ 2.400,00

  • Toekomstige schade€ 2.400,00 × 21,488€ 51.571,20
  • Kapitalisatie€ 56.561,88

Compensatory interest (vergoedende interest)

  • Simple interest at the Belgian statutory rate, each calendar year at that year’s rate, up to the date of the calculation or the judgment.
  • Temporary heads of damage run from the average date of their periods, permanent and aesthetic damage from the consolidation date.
  • You can change the start date per head of damage.
