WHAT IT DOES

 The coverage is broad and, importantly, practical:

• On the PI side there are Ogden multipliers, interest on damages, JCG brackets, Swift v Carpenter, care and attendance, fatal accident dependency and periodical payments.
• On costs there is Part 36 analysis, fixed recoverable costs across the fast and intermediate tracks, late payment of commercial debts and cost budgeting.
• The employment calculators cover tribunal compensation and grossing up, time limits, Vento bands and statutory redundancy.
• There are also industrial disease tools and a range of date, inflation and earnings calculators.

Each calculator is designed for one highly specific legal use, and aims to do one thing, well. Users can suggest new calculators if they find gaps in coverage, so the collection is likely to grow.

THE CALCULATORS

Every civil litigator has to do the same routine sums: Part 36 offers, fixed costs, interest on damages, Ogden multipliers, JCG brackets. David Green, a barrister at 12 King’s Bench Walk, got tired of doing them by hand and built DG Calculators to do them properly instead.

FORTY USEFUL TOOLS

There are now over 40 calculators, covering PI quantum, civil costs, employment and interest/earnings — Part 36 analysis, fixed and intermediate track costs, guideline hourly rates, multiplier adjustments, JCG bracket assessments, cost budgeting, and more.

SHOWS YOUR WORKINGS

Every result comes with a Show Working panel, so you can see exactly how the tool got there — and the source behind every figure (Ogden Tables, JCG 18th edition, ONS RPI, the costs tables) is right there in the working, not buried in a manual.

The calculators don’t replace the lawyer’s judgment; they clear the routine arithmetic out of the way so you can spend your time on the part that actually needs it.
