What Is the Korea Payment Order Cost and Interest Calculator?

A Korean payment order is a simplified dunning procedure for monetary claims. This calculator estimates the payment-order stamp fee, service fee, three-stage interest, objection conversion costs, main-case comparison, and enforcement-cost guide using the same Korean pure calculation logic as the Korean page.

It is useful for unpaid goods, service fees, loans, commercial receivables, and wage claims when the creditor wants a cheaper route before a full civil lawsuit.

Important Note

If the debtor files an objection, the case moves toward ordinary litigation and additional stamp fees, service fees, and attorney costs may arise.

Objection Scenario

  • The calculator estimates the additional main-case stamp correction after subtracting the payment-order stamp already paid.
  • It also estimates additional service fee rounds for the ordinary case conversion.
  • A creditor should compare the savings of payment order against the likelihood that the debtor will object.

FAQ

Can I use a payment order for every dispute?

It works best for monetary claims with clear documents. If the dispute needs witness examination, complex factual findings, or non-monetary relief, ordinary litigation may be more appropriate.

When does the 12% delay rate start?

The calculator applies the 12% litigation-delay rate from the day after service of the payment order, matching the Korean page logic.
