Attorney's fee calculator

Vekâlet Ücreti Hesabı (Attorney's fee calculator) works out the minimum attorney's fee under the Attorneys' Minimum Fee Tariff (Avukatlık Asgari Ücret Tarifesi, AAÜT). For matters with a monetary value it calculates the fee bracket by bracket under Part Three of the tariff and compares it with the court's fixed fee. For matters without a monetary value it finds the relevant fixed fee. Use it when preparing the fee request in a petition, when checking the fee awarded in a judgment, or when informing a client.

Where?

Workspace → Hesaplama (Calculation) → Vekâlet Ücreti Hesabı

The calculation follows fixed rules applied to the tariff you choose and the values you enter; no AI is involved. The result is the tariff's minimum fee; VAT and income tax withholding are not included.

Step by step​

  1. In Tarife (Tariff), choose the tariff to apply. It opens with the tariff in force today.
  2. In İş / dava türü (Matter / case type), choose the type of matter.
  3. If the matter has a monetary value, type the amount. The field's name depends on the type, for example Kabul veya reddedilen miktar (TL) (Amount granted or dismissed).
  4. If the type needs a court or a fixed-fee item, choose it in Mahkeme / maktu kalem (Court / fixed-fee item).
  5. Tick the half-fee or three-quarter box if it applies.
  6. The Sonuç (Result) card updates as you type. Check the brackets and the calculation steps, then save, copy or download.
The Calculation card: 2025–2026 tariff, a case with a monetary value, 1,250,000 TL, civil court of first instance
  1. Tarife: which year's tariff applies, and the date it entered into force.
  2. İş / dava türü: sets the rule of the calculation.
  3. The amount the fee is calculated on. The field's name depends on the type.
  4. Mahkeme / maktu kalem: sets the fixed fee and the minimum.
  5. Half fee (art. 6 / 7). Enforcement types show a three-quarter box instead.
  6. A summary of the tariff provision for the selected type.
The Calculation card: 2025–2026 tariff, a case with a monetary value, 1,250,000 TL, civil court of first instance

Write amounts as 1.250.000,00. An amount that cannot be read shows Tutarı 1.234,56 biçiminde girin. (Enter the amount as 1.234,56). No result is shown until an amount is entered; the page says Hesap için tutarı girin (Enter an amount to calculate).

Tariff year​

Each tariff in Tarife is listed with the date it entered into force, for example 2025–2026 AAÜT — 04.11.2025 tarihinden itibaren (from 04.11.2025). The hint under the field recalls AAÜT art. 21: the tariff in force on the day the legal work was completed or the judgment was given applies. If that day is in the past, choose the tariff that was in force then.

Two tariffs ship with the tool: 2024–2025 AAÜT (from 03.10.2024, Official Gazette 03.10.2024, no. 32681) and 2025–2026 AAÜT (from 04.11.2025, Official Gazette 04.11.2025, no. 33067). Your organisation's administrator keeps the tariff up to date; a newly added tariff appears in the list.

Matter and case types​

İş / dava türüAmount enteredRule
Konusu para olan dava (nispi) (Case with a monetary value, proportional)Kabul veya reddedilen miktar (TL) (amount granted or dismissed)Part Three; not less than the court's fixed fee, and not more than the amount granted or dismissed (art. 13)
Konusu para olmayan dava / maktu iş (Case without a monetary value / fixed-fee matter)—The fixed fee of the selected court or matter (Part Two)
İcra takibi (icra dairesi) (Enforcement proceedings at the enforcement office)Takip miktarı / asıl alacak (TL) (amount of the proceedings / principal claim)Part Three; up to the threshold, the enforcement office fixed fee, but not more than the principal claim (art. 11/1)
Tahliye davası (Eviction case)Bir yıllık kira bedeli (TL) (one year's rent)Part Three; not less than the court's fixed fee (art. 9/1)
Kira tespit davası (Rent determination case)Tespit edilen kira farkının bir yıllık tutarı (TL) (one year of the rent difference determined)Part Three; not less than the court's fixed fee (art. 9/1)
Nafaka davası (Maintenance case)Hükmolunan nafakanın bir yıllık tutarı (TL) (one year of the maintenance awarded)Part Three; not less than the court's fixed fee (art. 9)
Tahliyeye ilişkin icra takibi (Enforcement proceedings for eviction)—The fixed fee for eviction enforcement (art. 11/5)
Tüketici hakem heyeti (Consumer arbitration committee)Uyuşmazlık / asıl alacak tutarı (TL) (amount in dispute / principal claim)Part Three; if below the fixed fee, the fixed fee, but not more than the principal claim (art. 12/4)
Dava şartı arabuluculuk — anlaşma (konusu para) (Mandatory mediation — settlement, monetary)Anlaşma konusu tutar / asıl alacak (TL) (settled amount / principal claim)Part Three fee plus one quarter; up to the threshold, the fixed fee plus one quarter, but not more than the principal claim (art. 16/2-a)
Dava şartı arabuluculuk — anlaşma (konusu para değil) (Mandatory mediation — settlement, non-monetary)—The selected court's fixed fee plus one quarter (art. 16/2-b)
Dava şartı arabuluculuk — anlaşmazlık (Mandatory mediation — no settlement)Asıl alacak (TL, isteğe bağlı) (principal claim, optional)The fixed fee; not more than the principal claim, if entered (art. 16/2-c)
İşe iade davası (Reinstatement case)—The tariff has no specific provision. Following settled practice, the tool applies the labour court's (first-instance) fixed fee; check current Court of Cassation practice

Mahkeme / maktu kalem lists every item in Part Two of the selected tariff: enforcement offices and enforcement courts, civil courts of peace, courts of first instance, consumer courts, intellectual property courts, high criminal courts, administrative and tax courts, appeal courts, the Court of Cassation, the Council of State, the Constitutional Court, and matters such as interim attachments and injunctions. Changing the type preselects a default item: Sulh hukuk mahkemeleri (civil courts of peace) for eviction and rent determination cases, courts of first instance (asliye) for most others.

Half fee and three quarters​

  • Ön inceleme tutanağı imzalanmadan önce feragat, kabul, sulh, konusuz kalma, nakil vb. (yarı ücret, md. 6 / 7) (Waiver, acceptance, settlement, the case becoming moot, transfer, etc. before the preliminary examination record is signed; half fee): shown for case types. Ticked, the fee is halved.
  • Borçlu ödeme süresi içinde ödedi (dörtte üç, md. 11/4–5) (The debtor paid within the payment period; three quarters): shown for İcra takibi (icra dairesi) and Tahliyeye ilişkin icra takibi. Ticked, three quarters of the fee apply.

Changing the type clears these boxes.

Reading the result​

The example calculates the fee for a case in a civil court of first instance where 1,250,000.00 TL was granted, under the 2025–2026 tariff. The three brackets add up to 193,000.00 TL. That is above the fixed fee of courts of first instance (45,000.00 TL), so the proportional fee applies.

Attorney's fee result: minimum fee 193,000 TL, Part Three brackets, calculation steps and a note on the fixed-fee minimum
  1. Asgari vekâlet ücreti (Minimum attorney's fee): the result.
  2. The tariff used, its Official Gazette reference and the tariff's source.
  3. Üçüncü kısım — dilim dilim (Part Three, bracket by bracket): the amount, rate and fee of each bracket.
  4. Hesap adımları (Calculation steps): how the result was reached.
  5. The limits on the fee a court awards, and provisions to consider separately.
  6. Save, copy, preview and download buttons.
Attorney's fee result: minimum fee 193,000 TL, Part Three brackets, calculation steps and a note on the fixed-fee minimum

The Sonuç card contains:

  • Asgari vekâlet ücreti, with the tariff used below it (for example 2025–2026 AAÜT (RG 04.11.2025, sayı 33067)) and a label showing the tariff's source.
  • Üçüncü kısım — dilim dilim: for a proportional calculation, each bracket's range, the amount falling in it, its rate and its fee, with the Toplam (Total) at the bottom. Each bracket's fee is rounded to the kuruş.
  • Hesap adımları: every step with its amount: the proportional fee, raising it to the fixed fee, capping it, adding one quarter, halving it or taking three quarters.
  • Notes: if the proportional fee is above the fixed-fee minimum, what that minimum is; if you chose the half fee, which situations art. 6 and 7 cover.
  • Reminder: the fee a court awards against the other side cannot be less than the tariff amount or more than three times it (art. 3/1). For partial acceptance or dismissal, several defendants, counterclaims and similar situations, consider art. 3/2, 8, 10 and 13 separately.

In the example below, enforcement proceedings for 40,000.00 TL were paid by the debtor within the payment period. The amount is below the threshold (56,250.00 TL), so the enforcement office fixed fee (9,000.00 TL) applies, and three quarters of it are taken.

Enforcement example: proceedings for 40,000 TL, debtor paid in time, three quarters of the 9,000 TL fixed fee is 6,750 TL
  1. With İcra takibi (icra dairesi) selected, the court field disappears.
  2. If the debtor paid within the payment period, tick the three-quarter box.
  3. The threshold check, the fixed fee and the three quarters, each on its own line.
Enforcement example: proceedings for 40,000 TL, debtor paid in time, three quarters of the 9,000 TL fixed fee is 6,750 TL

The tariff table​

The selected tariff's table is at the bottom of the page, for example 2025–2026 AAÜT tablosu (2025–2026 tariff table). Click its title to open it.

  1. The table's source. Your organisation's administrator updates the tariff.
  2. Üçüncü kısım (nispi) dilimleri (Part Three brackets): cumulative upper bound and rate. The last bracket has no upper bound.
  3. Dilim ekle (Add bracket): a new bracket row.
  4. Maktu ücretler ve eşikler (Fixed fees and thresholds): the amount of each item.

The table contains:

  • Üçüncü kısım (nispi) dilimleri: upper bounds are cumulative; the bound for the first 600,000 TL is 600,000. The last bracket's bound is left empty (sınırsız, unlimited).
  • Maktu ücretler ve eşikler: the fixed fees of Part Two, and the threshold amounts for enforcement proceedings and mediation.

You can change amounts and rates in the table, and add or remove brackets. Your changes apply only to the selected tariff year and only to your calculation. The label turns orange and + düzenlemeleriniz (+ your edits) is added to the source. Düzenlemeleri geri al (Undo edits) restores the source table. The note under the table says the amounts should be checked against the tariff published in the Official Gazette, and that VAT and withholding are not included.

The label shows the tariff's source. If the administrator has changed the table, the label also shows the date of the change. If there is a problem reading the tariff, a warning appears at the top of the page. If the current tariff cannot be fetched, the tariff that ships with the tool is used.

Saving, copying and downloading​

  • Kaydet (Save): saves the calculation to your account. It appears in Kayıtlı hesaplar (Saved calculations) at the bottom of the page and in History. The title shows the type and the tariff; the line below shows the fee. While a saved calculation is open, the button reads Güncelle (Update).
  • Metni kopyala (Copy text): copies the whole calculation to the clipboard as plain text.
  • Önizle (Preview): opens the calculation as a PDF document in the side panel.
  • PDF / Word: downloads the calculation as a PDF or Word document.
  • Yeni hesap (New calculation): clears the form and your edits to the tariff table.

The document and the copied text contain the inputs (tariff and its source, type, amount, court, reductions chosen), the bracket-by-bracket calculation if any, the calculation steps, the minimum fee and the legal basis. A copy of every previewed or downloaded document is also kept in Files. Kayıtlı hesaplar shows your 30 most recent calculations. The bin icon (Sil, Delete) removes a calculation from the list and from History.

Limits and what to check​

  • The result is the tariff's minimum fee. It is not the fee agreed with the client or the fee a court will award.
  • VAT and income tax withholding are not included.
  • Partial acceptance and dismissal, several defendants, counterclaims and joined cases are not calculated separately; consider art. 3/2, 8, 10 and 13 yourself.
  • The tariff has no specific provision for İşe iade davası (reinstatement cases); compare the fixed fee the tool applies with current Court of Cassation practice.
  • Check the tariff amounts against the tariff published in the Official Gazette before relying on them.
  • Only you can see your saved calculations.
