This calculator compares staffing costs only. It does not estimate, assume, or project any recovery of litigation support expenses. Whether any expense may be treated as case-specific depends on applicable law, ethics rules, and your firm’s engagement agreements, and should be evaluated by your firm and its counsel.
Curious how per-file invoicing supports that evaluation? Explore the cost recovery framework.

- Payroll includes a 25% burden for taxes, benefits, and overhead on top of base salary.
- Delta cost assumes the selected service mix on every new case. In practice, cases that resolve early consume fewer services.
- Medical records & bills retrieval is billed at cost as a variable pass-through and isn’t included in the modeled mix.
- These figures are estimates for discussion purposes only — not a quote.
