Work out PIAWE from payslips in minutes

Upload a worker's pay records. Elara reads them, lays out the 52 weeks before the injury and calculates pre-injury average weekly earnings under Victorian law, with a report that shows every step.

How it works

    Add payslips, payroll reports or timesheets for the 12 months before the injury, as PDF, image, CSV or Excel.

  3. Step 3

    Check the worksheet.

    See every week laid out, with part pay periods pro-rated and unpaid leave flagged. Fix anything Elara got wrong.

  4. Step 4

    Download the report.

    Get a PDF with both PIAWE figures and how each one was worked out, section by section.

Why it helps

Built for the way PIAWE actually works

The 52 weeks are worked out for you.

Pay cycles rarely line up with the day before the injury. The calculator splits pay periods by days worked, so the first and last weeks are right.

Pay codes, explained once.

Tell it what a code like OT15 or Z45 means and it remembers for next time.

Evidence you can keep.

Every exclusion and adjustment points to the section of the Act behind it.
