# §30.810. How will OWCP calculate the average annual wage of a covered Part E employee?


To calculate the average annual wage of a covered Part E employee as defined in [§ 30.801(a)](/cfr/20/30.801.md?p=a), OWCP will:

- (a) Aggregate the wages for the 36 months that preceded the trigger month, excluding any month during which the employee was unemployed;
- (b) Add any additional wages earned by the employee during those same months as evidenced by records described in [§ 30.807](/cfr/20/30.807.md);
- (c) Divide the sum of paragraphs [(a)](#a) and [(b)](#b) of this section by 36, less the number of months during which the employee was unemployed; and
- (d) **Multiply this figure by 12 to calculate the covered Part E employee's average annual wage.**
