How the estimate works

  • The fee percentage applies to the gross amount or, if you choose, to what is left after case expenses.
  • For offers with future payments, fees and deductions come out of the cash paid now.
  • Present value uses the comparison rate you enter.
  • Liens and expenses are your own estimates, and taxes are not included.
