Foxy happy with this! $1.64 million in total.

The ABC's former managing director, Michelle Guthrie, will receive an out-of-court settlement worth $730,000 in return for ending her legal action.

Ms Guthrie was sacked halfway through her term in September last year and pursued the public broadcaster for wrongful dismissal in the Federal Court.

The matter was resolved last Friday and acting ABC managing director David Anderson revealed the $730,000 settlement at a Senate estimates hearing on Wednesday.

"The parties did start a long way apart," Mr Anderson told the committee.

"As you know, the adverse action claim was against reinstatement or, I believe, payment of the remaining term of Ms Guthrie, with two-and-a-half years left to run on her contract.

"There was toing and froing to arrive at the number I'm about to give you.

"The gross amount of that settlement claim is $730,000."

Ms Guthrie was also paid more than one year's salary when her contract was terminated, separate to the out-of-court settlement, taking the total pay out to $1.64 million.
