Road accidents is a major contribution in personal injury claims. The accident victims are allowed to claim a certain amount of damages from negligible parties. In Malaysia, courts adopt the traditional method of Multiplier-Multiplicand Approach to calculate the compensation amount. However, there is still no available tool to estimate personal injury claim with respect to loss of earning. This study aims to expose Personal Injury Claims Calculator (PICC) as the first prototype system to calculate the contemplated loss of earning in Malaysia. In order to create the system, a flowchart is proposed. The PICC is built using Visual Basic and Microsoft Access. The users will fill up the details displayed in the system to get the expected compensation amount. It is expected that claimants, courts and lawyers would be among the target users of the PICC.
