Are these Croatia lawyer fees binding minimums?

No. They are reference values from the official Croatia 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 Croatia calculator include court fees?

Yes. Alongside the reference lawyer fee from the official tariff, Tarifo shows the official Croatia 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.

Croatia's HOK Tariff is the Croatian Bar Association tariff, adopted with the consent of the Minister of Justice — a default and cost-recovery reference, not a binding minimum. It is the default used to value a lawyer's work and the basis a court uses to award costs to the winning party; lawyer and client may agree a different fee in writing (čl. 18 Zakona o odvjetništvu). The figures are net of 25% PDV, which is added on top. Tarifo presents these as a reference value, not a mandatory or minimum fee, and not legal advice.
