Please read carefully. This calculator is an illustration of how contingency-fee arithmetic works, using numbers you choose. It is not a quote, not an offer, not a fee agreement, and not legal advice, and using it does not create a lawyer-client relationship. In Ontario, contingency fees are governed by the Solicitors Act and its regulations and must be set out in a signed, written Contingency Fee Agreement (in the required standard form) — the percentage shown here is a slider, not Azimi Law's rate. How the fee is calculated (for example, whether and how costs and disbursements are treated), the applicable HST, and the actual disbursements all depend on your specific agreement and case. The figures here are rounded estimates and may not reflect your result. Discuss any fee arrangement directly with a licensed Ontario lawyer before relying on it.

The core idea: with a contingency fee you pay no legal fee up front. The firm funds the costs of building your case, and the legal fee is a percentage of what's recovered only if you win or settle. If there's no recovery, you owe no legal fee. The exact percentage is set out in a written agreement before you sign.
Just a "what-if" number to see how the math works — not a prediction of your claim.
In Ontario the percentage is negotiated and written into a standard Contingency Fee Agreement. This slider is for illustration only.
Out-of-pocket costs of building the case — medical records, expert reports, court fees. These vary a lot by case.
