The scale as revised in 2024

The fee under the scale of article 333.19 for courts of general jurisdiction and 333.21 for commercial courts, with the statutory ceiling applied.

The fee follows a stepped scale: a fixed amount for the band plus a percentage of everything above its lower edge. The percentage falls as the claim grows, so a million-rouble claim costs nowhere near ten times a hundred-thousand one.

The scales were raised sharply in autumn 2024, which means older calculators now understate the cost. The current edition is built in here, though it is still worth checking the code text before filing.

What to keep in mind

Calculated for a monetary claim capable of valuation. Non-monetary claims carry flat fees unrelated to any amount.
The fee is capped at 900,000 roubles in general jurisdiction and 10 million in commercial courts.

FAQs

Who ultimately pays?

The claimant pays on filing, but recovers it from the defendant on winning. Where a claim succeeds in part, costs are split in proportion.

Are there exemptions?

Yes — claims for unpaid wages, child support, personal injury, and consumer claims valued under a million roubles.

Can payment be deferred?

Yes, on application supported by evidence of financial hardship. A court may defer, stage or reduce the fee.

Is the fee refunded if I withdraw?

Withdrawing before judgment returns 70 percent, and settling at first instance also returns part. The refund is claimed from the tax office with the court's order.
