The answer varies from State to State but is usually 66 2/3%. However the maximum is limited by the State Average Weekly Wage (SAWW) which is set by each State.

It depends on the state that one person is collecting work comp. In states such as OR, CA and HI and other states it's .6667% of your average weekly wage (AWW). However in a state like Alaska it's based on if you are married and how many dependents you have. So the AWW is different.
Most states will have maximum allowed, so if you where earning $1300 a week and in a state like HI you'll be only entitled to $678.00 (2007 AWW).
Remember, you will not be taxed on work comp checks.

Varies from state to state, and its based on your earnings history, not necessarily your wage at the time you were injured.

It's never 80.
It's governed by state law, most of the time it's 65% or 70%, but there's ALSO a state minimum, and a state maximum - so if you make under the minimum, you get the minimum, but if you make $1,000,000 a month, you don't get 65% of that much.

I've always been led to believe it's 80%.
