What Is the Korea Civil Court Stamp and Service Fee Calculator?

This calculator estimates the court payment required when filing a Korean civil case: stamp fees, service fees, electronic filing discount, non-property claim stamps, counterclaim stamps, and selected case-type multipliers. It follows the Korean Civil Litigation Stamp Act fee model used by the Korean page.

The key inputs are claim amount, case type, property or non-property nature, number of parties, electronic filing, legal aid, and whether a counterclaim is included.

Important Note

Court fee aid, fee correction orders, changes in claim amount, added parties, and appeal-stage changes can alter the actual payment requested by the court clerk.

Electronic Filing and Rounding

Electronic filing applies a 10% stamp discount subject to the Korean model cap.
The Korean fee logic preserves the minimum stamp amount and truncates larger amounts below the KRW 100 unit where required.
Service fee is calculated from party count, service rounds, and the 2025-06-01 service fee unit of KRW 5,500.

FAQ

Is attorney fee included?

No. This calculator estimates court-paid stamp and service fees. Attorney retainers, success fees, appraisal costs, translation, and evidence costs are separate.

How are payment orders different?

A payment order uses one tenth of the main-case stamp and service fee rounds based on the debtor count, making it much cheaper unless the debtor objects.
