How to run Treble Damages in DocketMath for Wisconsin

US-WI treble damages rules

This source-backed guide covers US-WI treble damages authority (Wis. Stat. § 895.446(3) (civil theft / property damage by crime — up to 3x exemplary); Wis. Stat. § 100.20(5) (Trade Practice — 2x, NOT treble); Wis. Stat. § 134.93(5) (Sales Rep Commissions — up to 200% exemplary, NOT treble)). It explains how to read the calculator's multiplier output and points to the controlling US-WI multiplier statutes.

What the output means

Run this scenario in DocketMath using the Treble Damages calculator.

When the calculator shows a multiplier result, read it as a statutory multiplier on the base damages figure, not as a separate damages category.

• Base damages stay the same until the multiplier is applied.
• The statutory multiplier changes the total by the rule-specified factor.
• Any cap, exception, or carve-out still controls if the statute says it does.

What changes the result most

• The base damages input, because the multiplier applies to that number.
• The statutory multiplier itself, because 2x, 3x, and 4x produce different totals.
• Any cap or carve-out in the statute, because it can limit the multiplied amount.
