US business income formula at a glance
US business income business interruption cover - subject to the policy and schedule - typically measures loss of the policy’s defined business income during the period of restoration by comparing the results the business would have achieved but for the interruption with actual results, after wording-specific adjustments (for example projected revenue, business income margin, extra expense, and savings).

What Is a Business Interruption Expert Witness?
A business interruption expert witness is a forensic accountant, economist, or specialist loss analyst who translates trading data into a court-ready view of the income a business would have earned but for an insured peril or breach. Their opinions anchor cross-examination on defensible assumptions rather than narrative alone.
In US proceedings, those opinions are shaped by Federal Rule of Evidence 702 and the standards explained in Daubert - meaning transparency, objectivity, and fair treatment of competing methodologies matter as much as the headline loss figure.
