How are court fees calculated?
The fees for filing a small claims case vary depending on the jurisdiction of the court and the amount of the claim. Each state has different court fees for small claims cases, and in some cases, the fees increase with the amount of your claim. To help you prepare, our court fees calculator can estimate the expected fees for your claim. In addition to court fees, there may be other fees related to your claims, such as fees for serving the defendant , for filing motions, or for other court services. If you cannot afford the fees, you may eligible to apply for a fee waiver or reduction.
