How much can I get for a robocall?
An illegal robocall is generally worth $500 to $1,500, and because the amounts apply per call, what you can recover depends mostly on how many illegal calls you got.

Short answer
Under the TCPA, each illegal robocall is worth $500, and up to $1,500 if the caller broke the law willfully. The amounts stack, so your total depends on the number of calls and the circumstances. Ten illegal calls at $500 each is $5,000; the same ten at $1,500 is $15,000. There’s no fixed payout, and it scales with what the caller did to you.
What your robocall claim is worth
- Each illegal call is $500 in statutory damages, money the law sets, not your out-of-pocket loss.
- The amount rises to $1,500 per call when the violation was willful or knowing.
- The amounts stack: more illegal calls means a larger claim.
- Your real number depends on the call count and the facts, and every case is different.
Where the $500 to $1,500 comes from
You don’t have to prove you lost any money to recover for a robocall. The TCPA, the federal law that governs robocalls and spam texts, sets a fixed dollar amount per violation, called statutory damages. The baseline is $500 for every illegal call or text. If the caller knew it was breaking the law and did it anyway, a court can triple that to $1,500 per call. That higher tier covers willful or knowing conduct, such as a company that kept dialing after you told it to stop. For a fuller breakdown of the rule, see what $500 per robocall means and the $1,500 willful penalty.
Why the count matters more than anything
Because the damages apply to each call, the size of your claim tracks the number of illegal calls you received. A single call can still be a real $500 claim. But a campaign of repeated calls adds up fast, and that’s where most meaningful recoveries come from. A claim built on hundreds of calls can reach six figures on the math alone. The honest takeaway: the more calls you logged, the more your claim is generally worth, which is why saving your call records helps. We don’t publish an average payout, because there isn’t a reliable one. Every situation turns on its own facts.
What real cases have recovered
These aren’t hypotheticals. Attorney Max Morgan, Esq. has worked on TCPA matters with results including Lucas, $2.6 million, Campbell, $995,000, Higgs v. Golden Title Loans, $577,500 (built on 385 calls), and Key, $400,000. Those numbers show how per-call damages compound when the calls keep coming. Prior results don’t guarantee an outcome, and your case will rise or fall on its own facts, but they show the law has teeth.
What it costs you to find out
Nothing up front. Max reviews your situation for free and tells you honestly whether you have a claim and roughly what it could be worth. If he takes it, he works on contingency, with no fee unless you recover. To see whether your calls qualify, start with do I qualify.

How much is one robocall worth?
A single illegal robocall is generally worth $500, or up to $1,500 if the caller acted willfully. More calls simply mean a larger claim.
Is there an average robocall settlement amount?
There’s no reliable average, because every case turns on the number of calls and the specific facts. We’d rather give you an honest read on your situation than quote a number that doesn’t fit it.
Do I keep the money?
Yes. In an individual TCPA claim the statutory damages go to you. Max works on contingency, so his fee comes out only if you recover.
