Court Fees Calculator
Calculate approximate court fees and litigation expenses that may arise during the opening or process of a lawsuit.
Total estimated payment = application fee + fixed fee + advance proportional fee + expense advance + notification, expert, discovery, witness, and other litigation expenses.
Court fees and litigation expenses may vary depending on the type of case, type of court, case value, fee schedule, expense advance, number of notifications, expert/discovery status, and legal remedy stage. Therefore, amounts and rates are taken as user input.
This calculation produces approximate results for informational purposes. Court fees and litigation expenses may vary depending on the file type, outcome of the request, court decision, current fee schedule, and legislation. For an exact calculation, support should be obtained from the courthouse cashier, UYAP, a lawyer, or a legal consultant.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a court fee?
It is a legal fee paid to the state to benefit from court services when filing a lawsuit or during the trial.
What is the difference between a fixed fee and a proportional fee?
A fixed fee is collected over a fixed amount regardless of the subject of the case. A proportional fee is determined proportionally based on the value subject to the case (e.g., the requested amount of money).
What is an expense advance?
It is the amount deposited in advance to the court cashier when filing a lawsuit to cover expenses such as notifications, experts, and discovery to be incurred during the case.
Are expert and discovery expenses included in court costs?
Yes, they are within the scope of litigation expenses and are initially covered by the expense advance. In cases where it is insufficient, the court may request an additional advance.
How is the advance fee calculated?
In cases subject to a proportional fee, a certain proportion (usually one-fourth, or 25%) of the total calculated proportional fee is taken in advance when the lawsuit is filed.
Is an appeal fee paid separately?
Yes, when objecting to a local court decision and taking the file to a higher court (appeal), additional fees belonging to the relevant stage must be paid.
Does this calculation give an exact result?
No. This tool makes an estimated calculation. The actual amount that will arise at the court cashier may vary depending on the court type, the status of the file, and current tariffs.
