Example for calculation

The case finished with your getting 5,000,000yen (economic value) and you already paid initial fee of 330,000yen in the beginning:

For 3,000,000yen economic value: initial fee 8% + contingent fee 16% (total 24%)＝720,000yen

+

Rest of 2,000,000yen economic value: initial fee 5% + contingent fee 10% (total 15%)＝300,000yen

=1,020,000yen

1,020,000yen +Consumption tax (10%)= 1,122,000yen is the total fee

1,122,000yen – 330,000yen (you have already paid) = 792,000yen

Contingent fee 792,000yen is the amount you have to pay when the case finished.
