About race discrimination compensation
Where these figures come from
Every figure on this page is drawn from published employment tribunal judgments where a compensation amount appears in the public record. Race discrimination awards may include injury to feelings, lost earnings, interest and other compensation linked to the discriminatory treatment. The median and highest awards are calculated from awarded cases only, so race discrimination claims that settled privately or ended without a published figure sit outside this sample.
How to read the headline numbers
The headline stats separate the size of awards from how often race discrimination claims succeed. A claim type can show a very high award in one exceptional case while the median across the wider sample stays much lower. Read the highest-value judgments table for the upper end of the record, then the recent decisions list to see how these disputes appear in current judgments — including cases where no compensation is visible.
What this page is not
These are documented examples, not a prediction of what a new race discrimination claim is worth and not an estimate of a private settlement. The public record is selective and excludes most settlements, so treat large awards as unusual rather than typical. This is an intelligence page, not legal advice: to value a live claim, compare the facts, dates and losses in the underlying judgments with your own.
