Arbitration Costs & Calculator
CRCICA Costs Calculator
Parties can easily determine how much bringing a claim to arbitration is going to cost them by using the CRCICA Costs Calculator, ensuring the transparency of the fee structure and foreseeability of the costs.
This Calculator enables prospective parties to CRCICA arbitrations to foresee the applicable costs according to Tables (1), (2) and (3) annexed to the CRCICA Arbitration Rules in force as from 1 March 2011, which apply to arbitrations filed after this date.
Once you input the sum in dispute in USD and indicate the number of arbitrators to be appointed, the calculator will provide an indicative estimate of the administrative and arbitrators’ fees. The estimate is exclusive of the USD 500 non-refundable registration fee payable upon filing a notice of arbitration and/or a counterclaim. The estimate is also exclusive of any expenses (Article 42(2)(d-f) of the CRCICA Arbitration Rules). Where Table (3) annexed to the CRCICA Arbitration Rules applies, the estimate of the total costs of the arbitration (excluding the registration fee and the expenses) is made based on the minimum arbitrators’ fees.

CRCICA Arbitration Costs
CRCICA’s services, including its artbitration costs (i.e. the Centre’s administrative fees and the arbitrators’ fees), are cost effective, with a high quality to price ratio.
On 25 January 2018, later updated on 23 April 2021, the Global Arbitration Review (GAR) published its ‘Arbitration Costs Compared’ report, comparing the arbitration costs from different arbitral institutions around the world, including the registration fees, the administrative fees, and the arbitrators’ fees.
According to the report, in cases where the sum in dispute does not exceed USD 1 million, CRCICA is the least expensive institution when appointing a sole arbitrator and one of the three least expensive institutions when appointing three arbitrators. For cases with a sum in dispute of USD 5 million and USD 10 million, CRCICA’s arbitration fees rank 9th and 11th, respectively, out of the 17 arbitral institutions considered, placing it squarely in the middle.
It is worth mentioning that the use of hearings rooms at the Centre’s premises is included in the administrative fees.
Regarding the value of disputes administered by the Centre, while up to half the cases in a given year will have a sum in dispute not exceeding USD 1 million, the Centre also administers multi-billion-dollar cases. For example, in 2015 the total sum in dispute in a gas supply case reached USD 6,435,713,084 representing as such a new record for the aggregate sums in dispute.
Further, CRCICA has witnessed an increase in the number of cases with higher sums in disputes. For example, CRCICA recorded a 153% relative increase in the number of disputes with a sum in dispute exceeding USD 50 million between 2017 and 2021.
