Quick answer
What discount rate do structured settlement buyers use today?
Most buyer offers fall between roughly 9% and 18% a year. That’s well above U.S. Treasury yields (the 10-year was 4.86% on November 6, 2026), because it covers the buyer’s funding costs, legal and court costs, risk and profit.
Your rate depends far more on competition than on the market: getting three or more written quotes typically does more for your payout than waiting for yields to move.
