Inputs you will need

Run this scenario in DocketMath using the Pre Post Offer Damages Split calculator.

To run a Pre Post Offer Damages Split in the Philippines (PH) using DocketMath, you’ll want a complete set of case facts that let the calculator separate damages into:

amounts that accrue before a specified offer date, and
amounts that accrue after that date.

Because this split is date-driven, DocketMath generally needs inputs that answer these questions:

What is the “offer” you’re splitting around? (cutoff date + reference amount)
What damages are you splitting? (total and/or the time-based basis)
How do you measure the time period before vs. after the offer date?
If damages accrue over time, what rate/schedule applies?

Use this checklist to make sure you have everything before you start:

Practical note: The most common failure is entering the offer cutoff date incorrectly relative to your accrual start/end dates. If the offer date falls outside the accrual window, the split will often look “wrong” even when the underlying numbers are correct.

Where to find each input

Below is a practical mapping from typical PH case documents to the inputs DocketMath will need. You can usually find the information in pleadings, supporting annexes, and court record materials.

Input	Where you typically find it in your PH case file	What to extract
Offer date	The document that contains the offer (e.g., offer notice, related submission, or how the offer is recorded in the docket)	The exact date the offer was made/dated
Offer amount	The same offer document (or the specific section stating the offered sum)	The PHP amount tied to the offer
Total claim amount	Complaint/amended complaint, statement of claim, or damages computation attached to pleadings	The total damages figure you intend to split
Accrual start date	Damages computation annex, demand/incident timeline, valuation section	The first day you treat as accruing
Accrual end date	Judgment date, computation cutoff, or last date for valuation	The last day included in the period
Accrual rate / schedule	Damages computation or underlying economic basis	A rate you can express as per-day or per-month
Fixed components (if any)	Damages breakdown tables in pleadings or exhibits	Lump sums and intended allocation logic
Rounding rule	Your own computation standard / company practice / prior worksheets	The rule for rounding and formatting your output

Checklist suggestion (fastest way to avoid rework):

Pitfall: If your damages are time-based but you provide only a rate without giving the accrual window (start/end), DocketMath can’t determine how much falls before vs. after the offer.

Run it

To run the calculation, use DocketMath here: /tools/pre-post-offer-damages-split.

You can start by navigating to:

/tools/pre-post-offer-damages-split

If you’re preparing broader litigation math in the same workflow, you may also find it helpful to review /tools for any related formatting or supporting computation steps:

Recommended input order (to catch contradictions early)

Set the accrual window
- Accrual start date
- Accrual end date
Set the offer cutoff
- Offer date
Define the damages basis
- Total claim amount and/or the time-based rate/schedule
Add fixed components (if applicable)
Confirm rounding and currency

How outputs typically change

Move the offer date later → the pre-offer portion generally gets smaller (fewer days occur before the cutoff), and post-offer increases.
Change the accrual rate → both pre and post amounts change, often preserving the general split pattern as long as the time window stays the same.
Adjust accrual start/end dates → absolute totals change for both pre and post, and the split percentage can swing significantly if the offer date is near the start or end.
Add fixed components → the totals can become dominated by those fixed lumps depending on their size relative to the time-based portion.
