Estimate, not guaranteed. This is an estimate, not a guarantee. Awards are discretionary, most tips never produce one, and amounts depend on what the government actually recovers or collects. Program rules change; confirm with the official source or an attorney. Ranges show the percentage a program may award; they are not a prediction that you will receive anything.
