lump sum payment
Single full amount
A lump sum payment is a single payment of an entire amount owed, rather than a series of smaller installments.
Insurance settlements, lottery winnings, and retirement benefits often offer the choice between a lump sum and periodic payments: She took the lump sum rather than monthly checks.
The phrase emphasizes completeness—everything at once.
