Total Estimated Filing Cost
Your estimated total cost to file a standard civil case, combining the real state filing fee and any motion fees.
Base Civil Filing Fee
$435
The real filing fee for a standard civil case in your selected state's general/circuit trial court. Five states (IL, OH, PA, TX, TN) set fees by county, not statewide — this is a representative figure, not a guaranteed one.
Motion Fees
$0
Most states charge no separate fee to file a motion — leave this at $0 unless you know your court charges one (confirmed real motion fees exist in Kansas, Minnesota, North Carolina, and South Carolina).
