About the Roundup Cancer Settlement
Roundup, the world's most widely used herbicide manufactured by Monsanto (now owned by Bayer AG), has been linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and other cancers. The active ingredient, glyphosate, was classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans" by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2015. Since then, over 100,000 lawsuits have been filed against Bayer/Monsanto alleging that Roundup caused cancer.
Bayer has agreed to pay approximately $10.9 billion to settle the majority of Roundup cancer claims. This represents one of the largest product liability settlements in U.S. history. Three landmark jury verdicts — DeWayne Johnson ($289M, reduced to $78M), Edwin Hardeman ($80M), and Alva and Alberta Pilliod ($2B, reduced to $87M) — established the legal precedent that Roundup can cause cancer and that Monsanto failed to warn consumers.
Our calculator estimates your potential settlement based on the key factors that determine claim value: your specific cancer diagnosis, how long you used Roundup products, the timing of your diagnosis relative to exposure, and the type of Roundup product used. Settlement values vary significantly based on these factors. See our methodology page for details on how we generate estimates.
Estimated Roundup Settlement Tiers
| Claim Category | Estimated Range | Typical Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 — Highest | $150,000 – $250,000 | NHL diagnosis, 10+ years of regular Roundup use, strong causation evidence |
| Tier 2 — High | $75,000 – $150,000 | NHL or related lymphoma, 5+ years of Roundup use, documented purchase history |
| Tier 3 — Moderate | $25,000 – $75,000 | Other cancer type linked to glyphosate, moderate exposure duration |
| Tier 4 — Lower | $5,000 – $25,000 | Shorter exposure period, weaker causation link, pre-existing conditions |
Estimates based on reported Roundup settlement averages and comparable toxic tort cases. Actual payouts depend on individual case strength and Bayer's settlement administration.
Factors That Affect Your Roundup Settlement
- Cancer Type: Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) claims receive the highest settlements because the scientific evidence linking glyphosate to NHL is strongest. Other lymphomas and cancers may qualify but typically receive lower amounts. The specific subtype of NHL and its severity also affect the claim value.
- Exposure Duration: Longer exposure to Roundup products generally increases settlement value. Professional landscapers, agricultural workers, and homeowners who used Roundup regularly for many years have the strongest claims. Documentation of purchase history and usage frequency strengthens the case.
- Product Used: The specific Roundup product matters. Concentrated professional-grade formulations typically result in higher exposure levels than diluted consumer products. Documentation of which products you used and how frequently you applied them affects your claim value.
- Diagnosis Timing: The timing of your cancer diagnosis relative to your Roundup exposure is crucial for establishing causation. Diagnoses that occurred during or shortly after regular Roundup use strengthen the causal link. Very long gaps between last use and diagnosis may weaken the claim.
- Medical Documentation: Strong medical records, pathology reports, and treating physician statements linking your cancer to chemical exposure significantly increase settlement value. Expert medical opinions that specifically address glyphosate as a causal factor provide the strongest support for claims.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who qualifies for a Roundup settlement?
Anyone who was regularly exposed to Roundup or other glyphosate-based herbicides and subsequently developed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or another qualifying cancer may be eligible. This includes agricultural workers, landscapers, groundskeepers, nursery workers, and homeowners who regularly used Roundup products. There is no minimum exposure period, but longer and more frequent use strengthens the claim.
How much is the average Roundup settlement?
Individual Roundup settlements have ranged widely, from approximately $5,000 to over $250,000 per person. The average settlement for cases with strong evidence of NHL and prolonged exposure is estimated at $100,000 to $150,000. Bayer's $10.9 billion settlement fund covers approximately 100,000 claims, suggesting an average of about $100,000 per claim, though actual distributions vary significantly based on individual case strength.
Is it too late to file a Roundup lawsuit?
Statutes of limitations vary by state, but new cases are still being filed. The statute of limitations typically begins running from the date of diagnosis or the date you reasonably should have known that Roundup caused your cancer. Some states have extended filing deadlines for toxic exposure cases. Consult an attorney to determine if your claim is still within the filing window.
What cancers are linked to Roundup?
The strongest scientific evidence links glyphosate (Roundup's active ingredient) to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), including subtypes like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma. Other cancers that have been associated with glyphosate exposure in studies include leukemia, multiple myeloma, and other lymphomas. The IARC classification of glyphosate as 'probably carcinogenic' covers cancer generally, though NHL has the most robust evidence base.
Do I need a lawyer to file a Roundup claim?
While not legally required, the vast majority of Roundup claimants use an attorney. Most Roundup attorneys work on contingency (no upfront fees — they only get paid if you win). An experienced toxic tort attorney can evaluate the strength of your claim, gather medical evidence, negotiate with Bayer's settlement administrators, and ensure you receive fair compensation. Attorney fees typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement.
How long does a Roundup settlement take?
The timeline varies. Claims in the Bayer settlement program are generally resolved faster (6-18 months) than individual lawsuits (which can take 2-4 years). The process involves medical record review, claim evaluation, tier assignment, and payment processing. Cases that go to trial can take longer but may result in higher awards. Most current claims are being processed through Bayer's settlement fund rather than going to trial.
