A legal settlement value calculator estimates the present value of a proposed settlement against the probability-weighted expected trial outcome. A 60% chance of winning $200,000 at trial has an expected value of $120,000, minus litigation costs of $30,000 = $90,000. Defendants often settle for 40–70 cents on the dollar to avoid trial costs and uncertainty.
