Lawyer's Fee Calculator in Japan

In Japan we decide lawyer's fee based on the amount of time spent on the cases ( time basis ) or on the the amount of the economic value of the calim that the client make ( claim amount basis ).
Usual hourly rate of charge is from ¥10,000 to ¥30,000.
On the claim amount basis, for example, if the claim for damages is ¥10,000,000, the standard retainer ( initial fee ) is ¥590,000 and the success fee is ¥1,180,000.
We put a calculator of attorney's fee on the claim amount basis. As it's only a trial production, we must improve it.
If you try to use it, we are very pleased.
