additional amount

additional settlement or additional settlement amount, but given that it is already talking about the conclusion of the settlement, can just say additional amount.

AmE: markup for settlement out-of-court

No hyphen as - if hyphenated in the US - means scheduled for trial.

The German idea is a counter-intuitive one inasmuch as, in the UK, this 'added value' would likelier be described as a 'markdown' for saving court costs.

The only hint of the target-readership was in fact your = the asker's location of Canada. So I tried to get as near, albeit geographically as possible with a 'non-British' idea....
Example sentence:

The term "mark-up" refers to the manner or procedure by which a case is scheduled to be adjudicated.

USA: Similarly, the maximum the defendant will offer (M) depends on his expected payoff at verdict plus his incremental litigation costs: .. where 3'X is the markup due to defense litigation costs...

Note from asker:
FIRST, thank you for your helpful suggestion. SECOND, I'm not sure how in the request it was indicated that the target language is AmE, in fact it is BritEng. I will look through your suggestion and the references carefully, but not before tomorrow morning. Thank you again, Willis
Peer comment(s):

disagree Peter Lautz : Es geht nicht um einen außergerichtlichen Vergleich. Der Vergleichsmehrwert ist der Betrag, um den der Vergleichswert höer ist als der Wert des Verfahrensantrags (weil zusätzliche Punkte mitverglichen wurden)
