Small Claims Damages Worksheet

Add up what you're claiming before you file — this worksheet totals the numbers you enter so nothing gets left out. It doesn't decide what you're legally owed.

Not a legal calculation

This is addition, not a prediction of what a judge will award. Not every cost is recoverable in every state or case type, and this total doesn't include interest or anything that isn't a plain dollar amount you've already documented. Compare your total against your state's small claims dollar limit before filing, and talk to a licensed attorney if your situation is complicated.

Next: confirm your state's small claims dollar limit on your state guide. If your total is close to or over the limit, some states let you waive the excess to stay in small claims — worth checking before you file.
