Legal Calculators

Law in Poland — calculators and deadlines

Polish civil and criminal law affects everyday life in countless ways — from signing contracts and car accidents to family settlements and consumer disputes. Legal calculators on Liczbnik.pl provide indicative financial estimates for common legal situations without the cost of a professional consultation for every straightforward question. Statutory interest and late-payment interest are among the most frequently calculated amounts in civil transactions. Statutory interest currently stands at 11.25% per annum and accrues from the date a claim became due. Late-payment interest in B2B commercial transactions is higher at 12.25% p.a. The interest calculator computes the amount owed from the principal, the applicable rate and the number of days of delay. Limitation periods determine whether a claim can still be enforced in court. The general period is six years; for commercial claims it is three years. Shorter periods apply to sale-of-goods claims (two years) and tort claims (three years from the date of knowledge of the damage). The limitation period calculator shows the deadline by which you must file. Court filing fees are a barrier that discourages many people from pursuing legitimate claims. The fee for financial claims is 5% of the claim value (minimum PLN 30, maximum PLN 200,000). The court fee calculator gives you an indicative cost to help decide whether litigation is financially worthwhile. An inheritance reserve (zachowek) is the statutory right of a child, spouse or parent to a share of an estate even if they were excluded by a will. It equals half (or two-thirds for minors and permanently incapacitated persons) of the share they would have received under intestacy. The zachowek calculator estimates the amount based on the estate value and the number of claimants.
