Understanding the Calculator

Time Value of Money

Money today is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity. This is the foundation of present value calculations.

Discount Rate

The discount rate reflects the buyer's profit margin and risk assessment. Higher rates mean you receive less cash now. Typical rates range from 9% to 15%.

Protect Your Interests

Always get multiple quotes and consult with a structured settlement attorney before selling. State protection acts require court approval for transfers.
