Offer range, not a single number
We show you a minimum and maximum payout range based on your payment details so you understand the realistic spread before deciding.
Lump Sum Calculator
How each calculator works
Above you choose either guaranteed payments or life-contingent payments. Each path uses a different engine because the risks in your payment stream are not the same.
Guaranteed payment calculator
This tool is for schedules that pay on fixed dates for a defined stretch of time. We discount every future payment to a present value using current market discount rates, then show a lump-sum range. There is no life-expectancy step, because the amounts and dates are already spelled out in your paperwork.
Life-contingent payment calculator
This tool is for payments that continue while someone is living. Future checks might not all be paid if that person passes away, so buyers use actuarial ideas (similar to life tables) to weigh those odds. The calculator reflects that uncertainty in your range.
To tighten a quote, we may ask for a few basic facts such as height, weight, and related details to build a simple health profile. That helps the model line up with how purchasing companies price life-based streams. You still run the numbers yourself first, with no obligation.
What is a Structured Settlement Calculator?
A structured settlement calculator computes the present value of your future payments. Dollars received years from now are worth less than dollars today. Pick the guaranteed or life-contingent tool above so the math matches your payment type, then enter amounts, frequency, and timing. The calculator uses standard present value ideas (and life-contingent logic where needed) to show what your stream might be worth as a lump sum.
The calculator applies current market discount rates and returns an estimated lump-sum range in seconds. Run unlimited scenarios to compare selling all payments versus a partial window.
Key Features of Our Structured Settlement Calculator
Instant Results with No Sign-Up
Get your estimate in under 60 seconds without registering an account or providing any personal information. Start using the calculator immediately to explore what your payments might be worth.
Two calculators for real-world schedules
Use the guaranteed payment path for fixed-period streams and the life-contingent path when payments depend on someone being alive. Stepped amounts, COLAs, and uneven dates still fit once you are in the right tool. If you are unsure which path matches your paperwork, use "See how to tell" above.
Market-Based Discount Rates
Our calculator uses current market discount rates that reflect actual conditions purchasing companies see daily. We continuously update these rates so your estimates remain accurate and relevant to today's market conditions.
Scenario Comparison Tools
Run unlimited scenarios to compare different strategies. See what you would receive if you sold all payments versus partial payments. Compare different payment windows to understand how timing affects your offer amount.
Privacy Protected
Your payment information remains private and confidential. We do not collect, store, or share any personal data. You can explore options completely anonymously and only reach out if you decide to move forward.
Understanding Your Calculator Results
Your result includes a minimum-to-maximum offer range. Higher discount rates produce lower lump sums; lower rates produce higher offers. The calculator shows this sensitivity so you know your negotiating room.
Actual company offers may vary based on insurer rating, state court requirements, and current pricing. Use the estimate as a benchmark when reviewing offers. For a full explanation of how discount rates and present value work, see the AI calculator education.
