Fee for a commercial claim
Court fee calculator for a property-related commercial claim
If a business in Lviv or Lviv Oblast is preparing a property claim, start with the verified value of the claim. The calculator will show the rate and 2026 limits. Then check jurisdiction: the details for the Commercial Court of Lviv Oblast are relevant only if the claim belongs before that court.
Fee for a property-related commercial claim
For a legal entity, one property claim, and filing in a court of first instance in 2026.
Rate for an ordinary property claim by a legal entity in a first-instance commercial court. This is not a fee calculation for an individual’s civil claim.
Enter the confirmed value of the pecuniary claim to the nearest kopeck. The calculator does not determine its composition under the Commercial Procedure Code.
The 0.8 coefficient applies only when the procedural document is filed with the court electronically.
Preliminary calculation
2026Before paying, check jurisdiction, claim value and components, exemptions, the actual filing method, and the specific court’s payment details. This result is not a receipt.
- 1.5% of the claim value
- 7 500,00 UAH
- 2026 minimum
- 3 328,00 UAH
- 2026 maximum
- 1 164 800,00 UAH
- Filing coefficient
- 1
Applied rate: 1.5% of the claim value.
Rate after limits: 7 500,00 UAH.
500 000,00 UAH × 1,5% = 7 500,00 UAH; 7 500,00 UAH = 7 500,00 UAH.
The brief summary is easy to paste into a message to a lawyer or save for yourself.
How the rate is determined
For filing a property claim in a commercial court, the Law of Ukraine “On Court Fees” sets a rate of 1.5% of the claim value, subject to a minimum of one and a maximum of 350 subsistence minimums for able-bodied persons. For 2026, use the figure as of January 1: UAH 3,328.
The 0.8 coefficient is applied to the determined rate only when a procedural document is filed electronically. An intention to file electronically is not grounds for reducing a paper payment.
Calculation methodology
We accept a positive claim value for one property claim by a legal entity in an ordinary first-instance commercial claim in 2026.
We calculate 1.5% in kopecks and compare it with the UAH 3,328 minimum and UAH 1,164,800 maximum.
For actual electronic filing, multiply the rate after the limits by 0.8; there is no reduction for paper filing.
We show the percentage amount, both limits, the branch applied, and the final estimated payment.
Example
Example for a company in Lviv Oblast
A business from Lviv region is claiming UAH 240,000 for delivered goods. After checking the defendant’s location and the contract terms, venue was determined to be the Commercial Court of Lviv Region; the claim is planned for paper filing.
- Claim value: UAH 240,000
- Rate: 1.5%
- Filing method: paper
240,000 × 1.5% = UAH 3,600; this exceeds the UAH 3,328 minimum, so the estimated payment is UAH 3,600 without the electronic filing coefficient.
The example assumes one property claim, no exemption, and confirmed venue. The claimant’s place of registration alone does not determine the court.
What to prepare before paying
- Draft statement of claim with the claim formulated and its value justified.
- Contract, source documents, reconciliation act, or other evidence supporting the recovery calculation.
- Defendant information and circumstances for checking commercial jurisdiction and territorial venue.
- Documents about a possible exemption or grounds for a motion concerning payment of the fee.
- Official details of the proper court, payment instruction and confirmation of the actual filing method.
Frequently asked questions
Is the calculator suitable for an individual entrepreneur?
No. This page is limited to an ordinary pecuniary claim by a legal entity. Venue and the rate for a different claimant must be checked separately.
Why might 1.5% not match the payment amount?
The law sets a minimum fee of UAH 3,328 and a maximum of UAH 1,164,800 for 2026. After these limits, the 0.8 coefficient is available only for actual electronic filing.
Can the 0.8 coefficient be applied if payment was made online but the claim was filed on paper?
No. The decisive factor is the form in which the procedural document is submitted to court, not the payment method.
Does a Lviv business always pay using the details of the court in Lviv Oblast?
No. Venue is determined under the Commercial Procedure Code, including the defendant’s location and special rules. Use the payment details of the Commercial Court of Lviv Oblast only for a case within that court’s jurisdiction.
Does the result cover a mixed claim?
No. If an independent non-pecuniary claim is made alongside a pecuniary claim, its rate and payment rules must also be assessed under the law.
