What Arizona workers comp pays in Phoenix
Arizona pays lost wages by the month, not by the week. Your check is 66 2/3% of your gross monthly pay, up to a cap. Gross pay means pay before taxes come out.
For injuries in 2026, the highest monthly wage counted is $6,131.00, set by the Industrial Commission of Arizona. Pay above that line does not raise your check.
The first 7 days of lost wages are not paid. If you lose pay for 14 days or more, those days get paid too.
Checks can stop without warning. Read what to do when payments stop. The table below lays out the Arizona numbers.
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Monthly check | 66 2/3% of your average monthly wage |
| Highest monthly wage counted, 2026 | $6,131.00 |
Arizona deadlines you cannot miss
You must file a written claim with the Commission within one year after the injury. If the injury shows up later, the year starts when it becomes plain.
Get the claim on paper. Telling your boss is not the same as filing a claim.
If a judge rules against you, you can ask for review. That request is due within 30 days after the judge's decision was mailed.
A missed deadline can cost you the whole claim. Use the counter below to turn these into real dates.
| Deadline | Arizona |
|---|---|
| File your claim with the Commission | within one year |
| Ask for review of a judge's award | 30 days |
