Time missed from work is determined based on a certificate from the medical institution where the victim received treatment. |
2. Calculation method of lost wages
The calculation of lost work pay is mainly based on the victim’s lost work time and income status. Here are common calculations:
| Income type | Calculation method | Example |

| no fixed income | Calculated with reference to the average salary of local employees in the same or similar industries in the previous year | The average wage in the local industry is 5,000 yuan/month. If you miss 20 days of work, the loss of work = 5,000 ÷ 30 × 20 ≈ 3,333 yuan |
| Sole proprietor or freelancer | Calculated based on its average income in the past three years | The average monthly income in the past three years is 8,000 yuan. If you miss 10 days of work, the lost work fee = 8,000 ÷ 30 × 10 ≈ 2,667 yuan |
