Why trust this site

Transparent math

Every calculator shows its full substituted arithmetic — no single number with hidden weights.

Local processing

Your entries are processed in your browser. Nothing you type in a calculator is sent to a server.

Primary sources

Legal and formula claims are cited next to the claim, not left as unsupported statements.

Honest limitations

This site organizes facts and arithmetic. It never tells you what you're legally owed or guarantees an outcome.

Learn Before You Sign Anything

Twenty-three source-backed guides on how insurers value a total loss, what diminished value actually is, and how the U.S. claims process works — each cites its sources and says plainly what it can't tell you.
