How this calculator works
Profit = collected fee − attorney labor − staff labor − direct costs − allocated overhead. Effective rate = fee ÷ attorney hours. Not an accounting profit statement.
Professional verification required. This is an informational worksheet, not a legal conclusion. Verify governing law, court rules, fee agreements, facts and any applicable exceptions before acting.
Questions attorneys ask
Is attorney pay included in costs?
The user-entered internal labor rate models attorney compensation or labor cost.
Can I compare flat fee to hourly work?
The effective hourly revenue is shown, but a fair comparison also considers risk, collection and capacity.
