Get an estimate of your compensation
Use this calculator to find how much compensation you might be eligible for from the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme, which is administered by the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA).
This calculator is in line with the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations, including amendments that came into law in July 2026.
About your estimate
Your compensation estimate is not a formal offer or part of your claim. It is based on the answers you give. It does not use any personal or medical records. The more accurate your answers, the closer the estimate will be to your final compensation.
If you have already received compensation from IBCA
The calculator is currently designed to provide an estimate for first claims. However we know that some people are eligible to further compensation, for example if:
- the severity of their infection has increased
- regulation changes, such as compensation for interferon treatment, mean they are eligible for more compensation
In order to get an estimate of additional compensation you might be eligible for if you make another claim you will need to deduct the amount you have received or are due to receive from IBCA from your estimated total. The calculator cannot currently do this for you.
Infected people
You can get an estimate if you were:
- infected by contaminated blood, blood products or tissue from the NHS
- indirectly infected through someone who was infected by NHS treatment (this might have happened through sexual intercourse, a needlestick injury, mother-to-child transmission or close contact)
- infected through treatment received while abroad with the armed forces
Affected people
You can get an estimate if you have been affected as a partner, child, parent, sibling or unpaid carer of an infected person.
People who have died
You can get an estimate if you are representing the estate of an infected person who has died.
At the moment you cannot get an estimate on behalf of the estate of an affected person who has died. However you can still register your intent to claim.
Supplementary route
The calculator is updated as the compensation scheme develops. It does not currently support estimates for claims in the ‘supplementary route’.
Infected
The calculator does not currently cover:
- unethical research practices award
- severe health condition award (including qualifying chronic hepatitis through the Special Category Mechanism in England, or equivalents in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland)
- exceptional loss award (it covers financial and care loss award)
Affected
The calculator does not currently cover affected supplemental payments (supplementary financial support for financially dependent parents, siblings, or adult dependent children).
Before you start
You’ll need the infected person's:
- personal details, like date of birth and sex
- infection details (for HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C)
- information about any conditions or treatments needed due to the infection (for hepatitis B and C)
- payment amounts for any interim compensation, settlements or support scheme payments
You’ll need to complete your answers in one go. You cannot save and return to them. We will not store or share any of your answers.
