Note
This is NOT legal advice and NOT a statement of any law. It is generic arithmetic: it applies the displayed formula to the figures you entered, and every rate, fraction, factor, cap and threshold shown is a value YOU supply, not a statutory or court-approved figure. No jurisdiction's rule is built in. Real entitlements, fees, interest, support amounts and deadlines depend entirely on the jurisdiction, the wording of the contract, the day-count and rounding conventions the court applies, and the facts of the case. Use these figures only as a rough arithmetic check and consult a qualified lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction before relying on any number.

What gets subtracted from a gross settlement to reach net proceeds?+
Typical deductions include attorney fees, case costs and expenses, medical liens, and any court-ordered repayments, leaving the amount the claimant actually receives. The calculator subtracts each of these in the order you enter them.
Are settlement proceeds taxable?+
It depends on the claim type: compensation for physical injury is generally not taxable in many jurisdictions, while amounts for lost wages, punitive damages, or interest often are. This is not tax advice, so confirm treatment with a tax professional for your specific settlement.
Why is my net amount so much lower than the settlement I heard about?+
Headline settlement figures are usually gross amounts before fees, costs, and liens are deducted, which can reduce the net by a third or more. Always ask what a quoted settlement figure represents before comparing it to your own case.
What is a medical lien and how does it affect proceeds?+
A medical lien is a claim by a healthcare provider or insurer to be repaid from your settlement for treatment they covered or provided. These are often negotiated down before final payout, so the amount you enter may not be the original billed amount.
Can I calculate net proceeds before a settlement is finalized?+
Yes, entering an estimated gross settlement and expected deductions gives a planning estimate, but the actual figures can shift until liens are finalized and costs are confirmed, so treat early results as approximate.
