What are your possible NEER savings?

The WSIB has a program to encourage medium or large businesses (those with average yearly premiums over $25,000) to prevent workplace injuries. The New Experimental Experience Rating (NEER) Program gives employers a rebate or applies a surcharge based on their injury rates.

Fill in the input fields below to calculate the maximum rebate and maximum surcharges for your WSIB premiums. For this calculation, you will need to refer to your most recent quarterly NEER summary sheet (if you have multiple WSIB accounts, use your NEER Organization Summary Statement). You may find that preventing injuries could save you money!

Please note that this calculation is not an estimate or your actual NEER rebate or surcharge. This calculator demonstrates the difference between best and worst case scenarios based on a one-year period.

Note: It is possible to be targeted for a Workwell audit (a division of the WSIB) or a Ministry of Labour visit even if you receive a NEER rebate (due to differing criteria for poor performance). A Workwell audit penalty can cost you up to 75% of your average yearly premium assessment.

Preventing workplace injuries is the best way to avoid debits and other costs.
