How to Use This Estimator

For Debtors

Use these ranges as a starting point for settlement negotiations. Begin with an aggressive offer and be prepared to negotiate upward. Document your financial situation to support lower settlement percentages.

For Collectors

These ranges help frame realistic expectations. Consider the debtor's situation, debt age, and collectability when deciding which range to target. Quick settlements at moderate ranges often beat lengthy enforcement.
