What Is the Korea Sunlight and View Right Damages Calculator?

This calculator estimates Korean sunlight and view-right infringement damages. It reviews continuous sunlight, total sunlight, view blockage, property depreciation, consolation money, mitigation factors, appraisal, litigation cost, and class-action cost sharing.

The English UI preserves the Korean calculator unit system: the underlying pure function works in 10,000-KRW units for property value and damages, and the English page converts results back to KRW for display.

Important Note

Sunlight and view-right claims depend on measurement, zoning, building-code compliance, surrounding environment, public purpose, prior construction order, and appraisal evidence.

Infringement Measures

Measure	Input	Result effect
Continuous sunlight	Current and previous continuous sunlight hours	Loss hours and tolerance-limit review
Total sunlight	Current and previous total daylight hours	Grade and excess-tolerance flag
View blockage	Blockage rate and view grade	View infringement grade and value-premium rate
Building value	Appraised value in KRW	Property depreciation amount

Weight and Mitigation Factors

Building-code violation, zoning, damage duration, building usage, floor level, and victim vulnerability can increase consolation money.
Prior construction order, surrounding high-rise environment, offender mitigation measures, and public purpose can reduce the amount.
Combined sunlight and view infringement applies an overlap adjustment to avoid double counting.

Litigation Economics

The Korean result shows court fee, service fee, appraisal fee, lawyer fee, total litigation cost, per-household cost, net amount, and whether the claim is cost effective.

Class actions or household groups can reduce per-household cost but need consistent measurements and a coordinated appraisal record.

FAQ

Why does the calculator ask for previous sunlight?

The Korean model compares pre-infringement and current sunlight to calculate loss, not just the current condition.

Are sunlight damages shown in KRW?

Yes. The English page converts the Korean 10,000-KRW unit results to KRW for display.

Legal Use Notice

This English page translates and adapts the Korean calculator content for Korea-based estimates. The interactive calculator reuses the same Korean pure calculation function as the Korean page, so the numerical result is aligned with the Korean service. It is an estimation tool, not legal advice for a specific dispute.
