Are these Czechia lawyer fees binding minimums?

No. They are reference values from the official Czechia tariff, not mandatory minimums. A lawyer may agree to charge more or less — the fee agreement is between you and the lawyer.

Where do the numbers come from?

Every figure is computed from the official tariff published by the national bar council, and the breakdown links to the specific article that produced it. Tarifo never averages market quotes or invents figures.

Is this legal advice?

No. Tarifo explains what the tariff says; it does not analyse your case. For advice about your situation, talk to a lawyer.

Is Tarifo free to use?

Yes. The calculator is free, with no account and no sign-up. The site is funded by clearly-labelled display advertising.

Does the Czechia calculator include court fees?

Yes. Alongside the reference lawyer fee from the official tariff, Tarifo shows the official Czechia court fee for your case type and claim amount — so you see the full cost of bringing a claim, including how it changes for a family case or an appeal.

Reference

This is a reference, not a quote. A lawyer may agree to charge more, or less. The agreement is between the client and the lawyer.

The Czech advokátní tarif (vyhláška 177/1996 Sb.) is the default fee when there is no written agreement, and the baseline for court-awarded cost reimbursement — it is not a binding minimum on lawyer–client fee agreements. By contract the advocate may charge up to 3× (§ 12(1)) or as little as 50% (§ 12(2)). Amounts are net of 21% VAT. The encoded text is consolidated to 15 Jan 2026, after vyhl. 258/2024 Sb. and Constitutional Court ruling Pl. ÚS 32/25 (4/2026 Sb.). Tarifo presents these as reference values, not legal advice.
