Dave,

It is based on how much you pay in, but it considers your income from
your whole working life, the last years are not weighted heavier. The
amount you get is the amount you would get if you were to have retire on
the day you became disabled. Most people end up getting about 60% of
the average salary that they made over the course of their working
years. So take the salary you made each year, add it up, divide by the
number of years, multiple by 60%. This is a rough estimate of what
someone gets.
