Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 22 May 2026

1. Introduction

These terms govern your use of the DG Calculators website at dgcalculators.co.uk and the calculator services we provide. By registering for an account, starting a free trial, or subscribing, you agree to be bound by these terms.

DG Calculators is operated by DG Calculators Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company no. 17235086). References to "we", "us", or "our" in these terms are to DG Calculators Ltd.

2. The service

DG Calculators provides a suite of online calculators designed for use by barristers, solicitors, and other legal-services professionals, in the fields of personal injury, employment law, costs, and related practice areas.

Tab 1 of the Multiplier Getter calculator is freely available to all visitors without registration. All other calculators (and the additional tabs of the Multiplier Getter) require a paid subscription, except during the free trial period described in section 3.

3. Free trial

New users who register an account receive a 14-day free trial covering the full set of calculators. No payment details are required at registration. At the end of the 14 days, your access to subscriber-only calculators ends; if you wish to continue, you can add a payment card and start a subscription at any time before, during, or after the trial.

We may send you up to three transactional emails relating to your trial: a 3-day expiry reminder, a 1-day expiry reminder, and a notification at the moment your trial ends. These are operational emails (not marketing) and you cannot opt out while you have an active trial; once the trial has ended you will not receive further emails unless you choose to subscribe.

Trials are limited to one per person and we may decline a trial where we reasonably believe the same individual is registering multiple accounts to extend their trial period.

4. Subscriptions and pricing

We offer two categories of subscription. All prices are stated exclusive of VAT, which is charged in addition at the prevailing UK rate where applicable.

Individual subscriptions:

Monthly: £15.99 per month, billed monthly until cancelled.
Annual: £159 per year, billed annually until cancelled.

Corporate (per-seat) subscriptions for chambers, firms and teams (minimum 5 seats, billed annually):

5–9 seats: £129 per seat per year
10–19 seats: £99 per seat per year
20–49 seats: £69 per seat per year
50–99 seats: £59 per seat per year
100–199 seats: £49 per seat per year
200–499 seats: £39 per seat per year
500–999 seats: £29 per seat per year
1,000+ seats: please contact us for custom pricing

Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you authorise us (through Stripe) to charge the applicable fee to your chosen payment method on a recurring basis (monthly or annually as applicable) until you cancel. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date.

We may change our subscription prices from time to time. Where a price change affects your existing subscription, we will give you at least 30 days' written notice (by email to your registered address) before the new price applies at your next renewal. If you do not wish to continue at the new price, you may cancel before the renewal date.

5. Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings, or by contacting us. Upon cancellation, you will retain access to the calculators until the end of your current billing period (in the case of monthly subscriptions, the end of the calendar month for which you have paid; in the case of annual subscriptions, the end of the year).

We do not provide pro-rata refunds for unused portions of a billing period. If you have been charged in error (for example, a duplicate charge or a charge after a confirmed cancellation), please contact us at hello@dgcalculators.co.uk and we will investigate and refund where appropriate.

Statutory cancellation rights. If you are a consumer (rather than purchasing in the course of a business or profession), you have a 14-day right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, starting from the day you subscribe. By starting to use the calculators during this 14-day period you agree to begin performance of the contract and you acknowledge that you may lose your right to cancel any portion of the service that has been fully provided. In practice DG Calculators is purchased by professionals (barristers, solicitors, chambers, firms) and these consumer protections do not generally apply.

6. Your account and seat-sharing

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Each Individual subscription is licensed to a single named user and your account may not be shared with anyone else. Accounts that we reasonably believe are being shared, sold, or otherwise misused may be suspended or terminated.

Corporate subscriptions are licensed per-seat. The buyer of the subscription becomes that organisation's administrator and may invite up to the number of seats purchased. Each invited seat is itself a single named user account, subject to the same no-sharing rule. Administrators may add new members or remove existing ones at any time, subject to the requirement that at least one administrator remains assigned to the organisation.

If your access is granted on a complimentary basis (a "comped" account, e.g. for beta testing or chambers colleagues), the same use rules apply, and we may withdraw complimentary access at any time without notice or refund.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Share your login credentials with any other person, or allow any other person to use your account.
Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, copy, redistribute, or create derivative works of the calculators or their underlying code.
Use automated tools, scripts, or scrapers to access the website, except as expressly permitted (such as the search-engine indexing covered by our robots.txt).
Attempt to circumvent any subscription gate, paywall, or trial-expiry mechanism.
Use the service for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our infrastructure.

8. Disclaimer — accuracy of calculations

The calculators are tools intended to assist legal professionals with their work. While we take care to ensure their accuracy, they are provided on an "as is" basis and we make no warranties or representations, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, suitability, or reliability of any output.

The calculators do not constitute legal advice and are not a substitute for the professional judgement of an appropriately qualified practitioner. You are solely responsible for verifying any output and for the use you make of the results in your professional practice. We strongly recommend that you check all calculations independently before relying on them in litigation, settlement negotiations, or advising clients.

The calculators rely on data published by third parties (for example, the Government Actuary's Department for Ogden Tables, the Office for National Statistics for RPI indices, the Bank of England for base rates, and the Judicial College for general damages guidelines). We update our data as soon as practicable after publication, but we cannot guarantee that any particular calculator reflects the most recent data at any given moment. The data sources used by each calculator are listed within the calculator itself; please check those references against the underlying official source where the figure is material.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you in connection with these terms (whether in contract, tort including negligence, breach of statutory duty, or otherwise) shall be limited to the greater of:

£100; and
the total subscription fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

We shall not be liable to you for any indirect, special, or consequential loss or damage, including but not limited to loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, loss of data, or wasted expenditure, however arising.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability which cannot lawfully be excluded.

DG Calculators is provided to professional users for use in their professional practice. The limitation in this section reflects the basis on which we offer the service at its stated price. If the limitation is not acceptable to you, please do not subscribe.

10. Intellectual property

All content on this website — the calculators, their design, code, text, graphics, and any explanatory material — is the intellectual property of DG Calculators Ltd (company number 17235086), except for content owned by third parties (most notably: Ogden Tables, which are Crown copyright; the Judicial College Guidelines, which are © Judicial College and used under licence where applicable; RPI indices, which are © Office for National Statistics; and Bank of England base-rate data, which is © Bank of England). Where third-party data is used, we acknowledge the source within the relevant calculator.

Your subscription grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the calculators for your own professional purposes (or, in the case of a Corporate subscription, the professional purposes of the named seat-holders within the subscribing organisation). It does not grant you any ownership rights in the content or software, nor any right to copy, redistribute, or sublicense.

11. Changes to the service

We may update, modify, or remove individual calculators from the service from time to time, for example to reflect updated reference data, court rules, or guidelines, or to retire calculators that are no longer relevant. We will not make changes that materially reduce the value of an active subscription without giving you reasonable notice.

12. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access (with or without prior notice, depending on the circumstances) if:

You materially breach these terms (including any of the acceptable-use restrictions in section 7);
Your payment fails and is not remedied within a reasonable period;
We are required to do so by law or by a regulator;
We reasonably believe your account is being used fraudulently, by an unauthorised third party, or to harm us or other users.

On termination, your right to use the service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including limitation of liability, intellectual property, and governing law) will continue to apply.

You may terminate your relationship with us at any time by cancelling your subscription (see section 5) and asking us to delete your account (see section 7 of our Privacy Policy).

13. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms from time to time as the service evolves, the law changes, or our processes are refined. The updated terms will be posted on this page with an updated revision date at the top. Where we make material changes, we will notify registered users by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the service after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

14. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, or struck out, with the remaining provisions continuing in full effect. These terms (together with our Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the service, and supersede any prior agreement or representation.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. You and we each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales for any dispute arising under or in connection with these terms.

16. Confidentiality of your inputs

The figures, dates, values, and text you enter into our calculators are processed entirely within your browser. They are not transmitted to or stored on our servers at any time. The same applies to anything you type or save in the scratchpad and to any results computed from your inputs.

We undertake — both technically and contractually — not to collect, log, retain, or attempt to view the contents of any user's calculator inputs, outputs, or scratchpad. This undertaking applies equally to all users, including users we know personally and including users who may be professionally opposed to us in legal matters.

This matters because the calculators are used by professionals — barristers, solicitors, chambers staff, and others — whose work product and instructions are confidential to them and their clients. We have designed the service so that this confidentiality is preserved at the technical level: there is no path by which your inputs can reach us, whether deliberately or accidentally.

The only information we record about your use of the calculators is which calculator you opened, when, and from which IP address, recorded against your user account. The purpose of this record is set out in section 2 of our Privacy Policy; it does not reveal anything about the substance of any calculation you have performed.
