Why a Litigation Cost Calculator Is Important for Sponsors
Anyone entering the world of litigation financing as a new sponsor wants to avoid unexpected surprises—especially in the beginning. A litigation cost calculator helps sponsors gain clarity right from the start. It clearly shows what costs to expect and what financial opportunities are possible. This allows you to assess early on whether litigation financingmakes sense.
Why is a litigation cost calculator so helpful? Anyone planning to initiate legal action faces the question: how do I finance the entire process? You either cover the costs yourself or seek support—either from private sponsors or through state-funded legal aid. However, the latter is not easily granted. It’s tied to strict conditions and is far from accessible to everyone.
The litigation cost calculator makes the calculation simple and understandable. It shows—digitally and transparently—what court costs, attorney fees, and success-based payouts may arise. This gives potential sponsors a reliable basis for their decision from the very beginning.

Which Costs Can Sponsors Calculate with the Litigation Cost Calculator?
Before you consider participating as a sponsor in litigation financing, you should carefully evaluate the costs you may incur and conduct an initial risk assessment, as well as examine the prospects of the case. So let’s take a look at the costs that can be calculated in the context of litigation financing.
Calculate Court Costs and Attorney Fees
A legal dispute can be expensive—as is well known. Especially when a case drags on for months or even years. This risk is real. With the digital litigation cost calculator, you can estimate court costs and attorney fees in advance.
This is where the RVG calculator comes into play, in combination with the 2021 RVG table: §13 RVG. Attorneys in Germany calculate their fees based on fixed rules. The RVG calculator shows what the expected legal fees will be. The court fee calculator serves to estimate the court costs based on the amount in dispute. Together, they provide a reliable assessment of the total process costs and help sponsors better understand the financial scope.
This combination of RVG calculator and court fee calculator gives sponsors a realistic estimate of the expected expenses. It’s an essential foundation for deciding whether litigation financing is a worthwhile investment. The litigation cost calculator already takes these factors into account.
Calculate Profit Participation for Sponsors
Litigation financing can be worthwhile. And not just for the claimant—but also for the sponsor. So how high can the actual payout be?
With AEQUIFIN’s litigation cost calculator, different scenarios can be simulated. Depending on the amount in dispute, success rate, and risk assessment, returns of up to 10 times the invested capital are possible. But what does this look like in practice?
How the Litigation Cost Calculator Works at AEQUIFIN
The AEQUIFIN litigation cost calculator helps sponsors realistically estimate the total cost of a legal dispute. It calculates attorney fees, court fees, and the potential legal expenses of the opposing party for proceedings in Germany.
Step 1: Enter the Most Important Case Data
To receive a precise calculation, users enter the following values:
- Amount in dispute or object value: The amount of the claim or the financial interest in the case
- Number of plaintiffs and opposing parties: Relevant factors for cost distribution
- Stage of proceedings: Whether the case remains out of court or proceeds to litigation
- Instances: Whether the case ends in the first instance or continues through higher courts
These data form the basis for an accurate cost estimate.
Step 2: Use the LCC to Calculate Attorney and Court Costs
The litigation cost calculator uses the official regulations of the German Attorney Remuneration Act (RVG) and the Court Costs Act (GKG) to perform its calculations. Every calculation is therefore based on fixed, reliable rules and legal standards. This allows sponsors to assess early on what attorney and court fees they can expect in the first instance—as clearly shown in the litigation cost calculator.
- Attorney fees for both parties
- Court costs depending on the amount in dispute
- Additional costs if the case continues to a higher instance
At the end of the calculation, you as a sponsor receive a clear breakdown of the total costs. These result from various fees such as business fee, procedure fee, and hearing fee.
Step 3: Decision Support for Sponsors
Sponsors immediately see the total cost risk and whether litigation financing is worthwhile. The calculator outlines possible scenarios, including:
- Costs of an out-of-court settlement
- Costs for court proceedings in the first instance
- Total expenses for both parties
This analysis provides a clear basis for decision-making before committing to any funding.
