Our Mission
PFSCalculator.com exists to give Florida attorneys and legal professionals an instant, accurate, and free way to evaluate Proposal for Settlement thresholds under Florida Statute § 768.79. No subscriptions. No logins. No fees — ever.
About This Tool
PFSCalculator.com was built by a Florida legal professional who was frustrated by the lack of a fast, dedicated tool for calculating 768.79 thresholds. Attorneys were relying on spreadsheets and mental math during time-sensitive settlement negotiations — this tool was created to fix that.
The calculator handles three distinct scenarios that come up repeatedly in Florida civil litigation:
Proposal Calculator
Enter an expected judgment amount to determine what proposal amount will strategically trigger fee recovery.
Judgment Calculator
Enter a proposal amount to calculate exactly what judgment is needed to meet the 25% threshold.
Post-Judgment Calculator
After verdict, instantly verify whether your proposal was effective and calculate the exact percentage difference.
Who This Is For
- Florida litigation attorneys planning settlement strategy
- Paralegals analyzing proposal for settlement outcomes
- Law firms evaluating fee recovery potential
- Insurance defense counsel assessing settlement positions
- Plaintiff's attorneys maximizing recovery opportunities
- Law students studying Florida civil procedure
Important Limitations
This tool calculates mathematical thresholds only. It does not check procedural compliance with Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.442, which governs timing, form, specificity, and scope requirements for a valid proposal for settlement. Always consult the current text of both the statute and the rule, and review applicable case law before serving a proposal.
This calculator does not constitute legal advice. Use of this tool does not create an attorney-client relationship.
