Calculator Instructions:

Answers from the structured settlement calculator provide a rough estimate. Please note that the effective discount rate charged by a structured settlement purchaser depends on many factors such as: the structured settlement purchaser's cost of money, selling guaranteed or life contingent payments, negotiation ability to get a lower (better) rate, the amount of payments you are selling (smaller transactions may have a higher discount rate due to factors like legal/court costs being a larger part of an overall small transaction amount), etc.


Example 1:

Find the number of payments to sell to get the lump sum amount you need.

Amount of payment to sell: $ 1,200.00 per month

Time till these payments begin: 1 year
Discount rate (cost of selling): 7%
Lump sum amount needed: $ 60,000.00

Select the "find" button in the "Number of payments to sell" row. Entering the values above into the structured settlement calculator will give you the answer of: 63.5 payments.
