How to use this calculator
Two tools on one page.

Section 1 — Guideline Hourly Rates: pick a year, location and grade to see the current published rate. Optionally add hours to compute the time cost at that rate.

Section 2 — Judge's figure breakdown: build up the proposed fee-earner mix for a phase, enter the judge's global figure for that phase, and the calculator rebudgets each fee earner proportionately. Useful at and after the CCMC.
