Judicial College Guidelines 18th Edition (November 2025) — click any bracket to use the figure
Important — guide only: The JCG brackets are a guide to the range of values courts have awarded for particular injuries. They are not a tariff, not a formula, and do not determine the pleaded value. The appropriate bracket depends on the severity, prognosis, age, impact on the claimant, and combination of injuries. Always exercise independent judgment and record your reasoning.
The 18th Edition (November 2025) increased brackets by an average of 22%. Any further uplift from August 2023 to the date of settlement is a matter of litigation judgment — record your reasons in the PSLA Reasoning Note in Client Details before applying any uplift.

Future Pension LossActuarial advice may be required
Pension loss is frequently under-quantified in serious injury claims. The Ogden Tables approach (annual loss × multiplier) is appropriate only where pension accrual can be reasonably estimated. For DB, final salary, career average, or complex mixed arrangements, actuarial evidence is usually required. For simple DC arrangements with employer contributions, the simple model below may be adequate as a working estimate but should be confirmed with the claimant's pension provider. Check whether: (a) state pension entitlement is also affected; (b) the pension is fully or partly vested; (c) there are survivor benefits; (d) the multiplier correctly reflects the period to and from retirement.

Future Accommodation — Swift v CarpenterCapital cost method
▶Swift v Carpenter [2020] EWCA Civ 1295 established that…
Swift v Carpenter [2020] EWCA Civ 1295 established that the cost of accommodation should be calculated as the additional capital cost of adapted accommodation (i.e. the difference between what the claimant requires and what they would have purchased anyway), multiplied by the reversionary interest factor. The additional capital cost reflects only the disability-related premium — not the full purchase price. Annual running costs (e.g. repairs, insurance, management on a higher value property) are a separate head. Ensure the capital cost is supported by expert valuation evidence and that the reversionary factor is calculated from a supported life expectancy figure.
Swift v Carpenter: additional capital cost × reversionary interest factor. Factor = 1 − (1/(1+g)^n). Annual running costs are a separate recoverable head — do not include them in the capital figure.
Disability premium only — not the full property purchase price
Factor = —
1 − (1/(1+g)^n) where g = house price growth, n = life expectancy

Care Cost Inflation UpliftOptional
ASHE 6115 care wages have risen faster than general inflation. On catastrophic injury files with 20–40 year care periods, an annual ASHE uplift compounds significantly. This uplifts the raw annual care cost (not the capitalised figure — consult expert evidence on rate).
Typically equals the life multiplier figure
—
Compound inflation factor over care period
Multiply your current annual care cost by this factor to obtain the average annual cost over the period in present value terms. This is a simplified actuarial approximation — obtain expert evidence for court.

PPO & Scenario Comparison
Periodical Payments Orders and multi-scenario modelling
Under s.2(1) Courts Act 2003, courts must consider PPOs in every case involving future pecuniary loss. A PPO avoids investment risk and 100% certain payment. This calculator converts future lump sums to equivalent annual payment amounts using RPI assumptions.
