Our pricing

The rate, built in the open.

Most buyers won't show you the interest rate behind your offer. We publish ours — in four parts, the same for every customer in a risk class.

We set one rate per quarter and hold it — not a number that moves on you mid-conversation. (Rate shown is illustrative while we finalize our pricing.)

How it works

Honest about the timeline.

Selling structured settlement payments is regulated for your protection — a judge has to approve it. Here's the real sequence.

Step 1

Get your transparent quote

See the number and the math up front. Ask anything. No pressure.

Step 2

We prepare the petition

A licensed attorney files in your state. Every disclosure, in plain language.

Step 3

A judge reviews it

The court confirms the sale is in your best interest. Required by law (IRC §5891).

Step 4

You're funded

After approval, funds are sent. Start to finish is typically 45–90 days.

We tell you this up front because the wait is real. We'd rather you know now than feel surprised later.

Why we're different

Built to be the honest one.

This industry earned its reputation: rates quoted as dollars instead of interest rates, fees that appear after you're committed, reps who keep you on the phone while you sign. We're building the opposite.

  • We show the rate and the math — every offer, every time.
  • One flat, disclosed fee — nothing layered on later.
  • A no-pressure window — the price holds; we won't cold-call you.
  • We'll tell you if selling isn't in your interest — even when it costs us the deal.
Why we exist

The industry built a bad reputation. We're trying to build a better one.

If you've heard the structured-settlement industry isn't exactly clean — you've heard right. Last Week Tonight dedicated a full segment to it. The Washington Post won a Polk Award reporting on it. State attorneys general have indicted operators. The worst practices are well-documented — and our model is built to make them structurally impossible.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

Is it legal to sell my structured settlement?

Yes. In every state, a judge has to approve the sale first and confirm it's in your best interest — required by your state's Structured Settlement Protection Act and federal law (IRC §5891). That court step protects you, and it's why no legitimate buyer can pay you without it.

How much do structured settlement buyers take?

They apply a "discount rate" to your future payments — and most won't show it to you. Industry rates commonly run 9–18%. We post ours (currently an illustrative 9%) and show the implied APR on every estimate, so you see exactly what you're paying.

How much can I get for my structured settlement?

It depends on the payments you're selling, how far in the future they are, and the discount rate. The calculator above shows the present value, the cash to you, and the APR with no personal information required. It's an estimate — a written offer follows once we review your actual documents.

Can I sell just part of my payments?

Yes. Many people sell only some payments — say, a few years' worth — and keep the rest of their stream. You don't have to sell everything to get a lump sum now.

Will I owe taxes if I sell?

Generally, the lump sum from selling tax-free structured settlement payments isn't treated as taxable income, because you're selling a right to payments that were already tax-free. Situations vary, so talk to a tax professional — this isn't tax advice.

How long does it take to get my money?

Usually 45–90 days. Most of that is waiting for a court date, which is required by law and can't be skipped. See our Florida guide for the step-by-step timeline.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. There's one flat fee, shown in your estimate before anything else. We don't add application, processing, or "legal" fees later.

Will someone call and pressure me?

No. You can see your numbers without giving us a phone number, and if you ask for a written estimate we'll email it — we won't cold-call you. Your price holds for 14 days, with no pushing.

Do I need my own lawyer?

You have the right to independent legal, financial, or tax advice before you sign, and in many cases we'll help cover it. We think you should use it — a good advisor protects you.

Should I even sell?

Sometimes the answer is no. Selling future income you're counting on is a big decision, and if keeping your payments would serve you better, we'll tell you so — even when it costs us the deal.

Important. This website is an early prototype for research purposes. The estimates and the 9.00% rate (and its components) are illustrative and not a binding offer. Selling structured settlement payments requires approval by a court under your state's Structured Settlement Protection Act and a qualifying order under Internal Revenue Code §5891. Nothing here is legal, tax, or financial advice — please seek independent professional advice before selling.
