The Facebook privacy settlement is a $725 million class-action payout to millions of users. The payments depend on how long a user was active on Facebook between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022. The amount you receive is calculated by a points system where each month of active use equals one point.
- The average payment is around $29.42 to $29.43.
- The maximum payment for users active throughout the entire period (188 months) is $38.36.
- The minimum payment is approximately $4.89.
Payments started in September 2025 and will be distributed over about 10 weeks, with users being notified by email a few days before their payment is sent. The total settlement amount is reduced by legal fees and administrative costs before distribution among the approved claimants.
