How much will I get from a class action settlement?
It depends on the settlement type, total fund size, and number of claims filed. Data breach settlements typically pay $25–$150 for basic claims, or $500–$2,500+ if you experienced identity theft. Product liability settlements average $50–$300. Employment settlements are the highest, often $200–$5,000+ per worker. Use our calculator above for a personalized estimate.
Does having proof of purchase increase my payout?
Yes — significantly. Claims with documented proof of purchase receive 3–5x more than self-certified claims. Receipts, account statements, and bank records all count. Even screenshots can help in digital product cases.
What are the average class action settlement payout amounts?
By category: Data breaches average $75–$200 (basic) or $500–$2,000 (with identity theft); Product liability averages $50–$400; Employment/wage claims average $300–$5,000 depending on hours worked; Financial/banking overdraft fee settlements average $100–$800. See our full payout amounts guide.
How is settlement money calculated per person?
Settlement administrators divide the total fund by the number of valid claims. If a $50M fund receives 500,000 claims, the base payout is $100 per person. Claims with documented harm typically receive a larger "enhanced" share. Filing early — before the deadline — usually means fewer claimants and a bigger slice.
Is this calculator accurate?
The estimates are based on historical settlement payout data across thousands of cases. Actual amounts vary based on the specific settlement fund size, number of claimants, and your proof tier. We use conservative estimates so you're never surprised by a lower payout. For specific settlements, check the settlement detail page for official payout ranges.
