How much will last collection on credit report raise my score?

I have one recent collection coming off my report and wondered how many points my score should increase? This was the only collection on my report. I still have debts that were included in my bankruptcy on my credit. Smart credit said this collection has a high impact on my score.

It kind of varies, so it's hard to predict...but in my case, when my only collection account was removed, my score went up 82 points.
