Use this calculator when you already know the lawyer’s hourly rate and want to project the full bill after hours, filing costs, copying, experts, and other case expenses. Calculators are especially useful when you want to compare two quotes with different structures or when a lawyer gives you an hourly rate without a clear total-fee estimate.
