No card. No contract. Your data stays on your computer.

Gross billings, before anyone takes a cut.

The daily log, the tracking logs, the claim forms, the receivables sheet, chasing what did not pay.

What the arithmetic does not know

Three things to hold against your own result.

A calculator that only flattered us would be worth exactly what you paid for it. Here is where this one is soft.

Recovered hours are only money if you bill them

The hours line values your Sunday evening at your professional rate. That is real if you fill the time with billable work — another case, an assessment you turned down. If you would rather have the evening back, read that number as the price you are currently paying for it, not as revenue arriving.

A percentage service charges on collections, not billings

We apply your percentage to what you bill, because that is the number you know. If you collect less than you bill, the service’s real cut is a little smaller than the line shown — and the short-pays that caused the gap are their own problem, which is what the short-pay calculator is for.

It assumes the plan replaces the service

Some people keep their biller and buy the software for the documentation half, which the service was never doing anyway. If that is you, use the hours only line inside “show the math” — it compares your paperwork hours against the plan and leaves the service where it is.

There is no onboarding line, on purpose

Configuring your templates, folders, payers and state codes is included in every plan, so there is nothing to add. The one optional charge is white-glove import of your back history — $499 once, on Solo and Professional, free on annual billing or Practice.

Where the defaults come from

Every number in the boxes has a source.

The starting values, and why

$3,400 a week
The founding Ohio practice bills roughly $3,100–$3,600 in a week — about $150,000–$165,000 a year, one solo counselor, around thirty injured workers billed weekly. Read the case study.
10 hours a week
The low end of the 10–15 hours this workflow costs when every activity is typed four times: the daily Excel log, the weekly Word tracking log, the claim form, the receivables sheet.
$85 an hour
Deliberately below the published voc-rehab rates. Ohio BWC pays $81.90 for an hour of a VRCM’s time on the plan-implementation codes; Georgia’s rehabilitation supplier schedule is $106; Minnesota’s QRC rate is $129.98; Washington’s 0810V works out near $110.50. If you use your own state’s number, the result gets bigger, not smaller.
6% of collections
The middle of the 5–8% band that workers’-comp billing services typically charge; the full published range runs 4–10%, and flat arrangements run about $500–$2,500 a month.
$199 / $299 / $499
The published plans, flat, monthly. Annual billing is $159 / $249 / $415. No percentage, no per-claim fee, no contract — see pricing.

Rates current as of July 2026 — verify Ohio with the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, Georgia with the State Board of Workers’ Compensation, Minnesota with the Department of Labor and Industry, and Washington with L&I. Billing-service percentages from published service pricing, July 2026. Practice figures are from one practice’s own billing files, not a survey.

The part no percentage buys back

The service submits the bill. It has never written your tracking logs.

This is why the hours line usually dwarfs the biller line. A billing service takes the twenty-minute half — the form, the submission, the follow-up call. The evening half is the daily log, the weekly narrative log per client, and the receivables sheet, and it stays yours at any percentage, because it is documentation with your credentials on it.

Which is the whole argument for typing an activity once: the gridthe Word tracking logthe claim form with its B and C overflowthe receivable, from one entry.

Questions, answered.

How do you define “weeks to pay for itself”?

A year of the subscription divided by what the software releases in a week — your paperwork hours at your own rate, plus a week's worth of whatever you pay a biller. It answers one question: how many weeks of the thing you get back cover the entire year of the thing you pay. The full division is on screen under "show the math".

Why is the default hourly rate $85 when Ohio pays $81.90?

$85 is a round number just above Ohio's $81.90 an hour and well below Georgia's $106, Minnesota's $129.98 and Washington's roughly $110.50. It is meant to be unremarkable. Put your own state's rate in and the number gets larger — which is exactly why we did not preset it there.

Does this assume I fire my billing service?

The headline comparison does, because the software generates and sends the bills. If you would keep the service, use the "hours only" line inside "show the math" — it drops the service line entirely and compares your paperwork hours against the plan. That version is usually still the bigger number, because documentation was never what the percentage bought.

Do you keep the numbers I type in?

No. There is no form here and no server call — the whole thing is JavaScript running in your browser. We do not know you visited this page, let alone what you bill.

What if the result says the plan costs more?

Then it says so, in the same size type. A two-hour-a-week paperwork load and no biller genuinely does not justify $299 a month, and we would rather the calculator told you than a salesperson did not. Solo is $199 if the receivables half is not your pain yet.
