How I calculate
Law No. 213/2023 on the State Fee, in force since 1 January 2024, sets fees for claims with a monetary value by brackets. I calculate the fee using the bracket that contains your amount.
Up to 5,000 lei, you pay 5%, with a minimum of 150 lei as an individual and 250 lei as a legal entity. Between 5,000 and 50,000 lei, you pay 250 lei plus 4% of the amount above 5,000. Between 50,000 and 1,500,000 lei, you pay 2,050 lei plus 3% of the amount above 50,000.
Between 1,500,000 and 5,000,000 lei, you pay 45,550 lei plus 2%. Between 5,000,000 and 10,000,000 lei, you pay 115,550 lei plus 1%. Above 10,000,000 lei, you pay 165,550 lei plus 0.5% of the amount above 10,000,000. The new law has no maximum cap.
You pay 85% for an appeal, 70% for a cassation appeal, and 55% for a revision, based on the fee calculated on the disputed amount. When you file the case, you add a stamp fee of 200 lei.
Example
You claim a debt of 100,000 lei in court as an individual. The state fee is 2,050 + 3% × 50,000 = 3,550 lei. You add the 200 lei stamp fee, so you pay 3,750 lei. If you lose and appeal the entire amount, you pay 85% of 3,550, which is 3,017.50 lei.
