Getting paid in Estonia splits into two stages with two different statutes. Obtaining an enforceable title for an uncontested debt is the maksekäsu kiirmenetlusEstonia's expedited payment-order procedure (maksekäsu kiirmenetlus) — a fast, mostly paperwork route to an enforceable title for an undisputed money debt up to €8,000. Its court fee is 3% of the claim with a €65 minimum and no maximum (Riigilõivuseadus § 59 lg 6); if the debtor objects, the matter converts to ordinary proceedings.Glossary → (expedited payment-order procedure), whose state fee sits in the Riigilõivuseadus § 59 lg 6. Actually collecting on a judgment is carried out by a sworn bailiff (kohtutäitur) whose remuneration is set by a separate statute — the Kohtutäituri seadus — and so is returned as out of scope here. Both are court/state-side charges; Estonia has no statutory lawyer tariff, so representation is agreed privately.
Payment order (warning procedure)
The expedited payment-order procedure (maksekäsu kiirmenetlus) — a fast, mostly paperwork route to an enforceable title for an uncontested monetary claim, available for debts up to €8,000.
You file it when a debt is clear and you expect no genuine dispute; if the debtor objects, the matter converts to ordinary proceedings. It is often far cheaper than an ordinary money claim on the Lisa 1 table.
State court fee — § 59 lg 6. 3% of the claim, minimum €65, with no maximum. At a €1,000 debt the fee is the €65 floor (3% = €30), where an ordinary Lisa 1 claim would be €245; at €5,000 it is €150. Maintenance claims brought this way are exempt (§ 22 lg 1 p 2).
Compute this case in the calculatorEnforcement of a money judgment
Enforcement of a money judgment — the stage after you hold an enforceable title and the debtor still has not paid. In Estonia this is carried out by a sworn bailiff (kohtutäitur), not the court.
You turn to it once you have a judgment or other title and need assets seized, wages attached, or property sold to satisfy the debt.
State court fee — Kohtutäituri seadus. Bailiff remuneration (täituritasu) is set by the Kohtutäituri seadus and the Justice Minister’s täituritasu regulation, not by a court fee under the Riigilõivuseadus. The calculator returns no single figure and points to that separate statute; a future module could add the bailiff-fee scale on its own terms.
Compute this case in the calculatorThe payment-order fee is a mandatory court fee (riigilõivEstonia's court fee — the mandatory charge payable to the State to file or proceed with a case, fixed by the Riigilõivuseadus (State Fees Act, § 59 civil / § 60 administrative, with the value-band table in Lisa 1). For monetary claims it is a fixed-amount band lookup on the claim value (a €100 minimum rising to a €5,000 cap over €500,000); flat amounts and two 3% rules cover the other cases. It is a court cost, not a lawyer fee — Estonia has no statutory lawyer tariff — and it carries no käibemaks (VAT).Glossary →) under the Riigilõivuseadus (§ 59 lg 6); bailiff enforcement is governed by the separate Kohtutäituri seadus and is returned as out of scope. These are state and procedural charges, not lawyer fees — Estonia has no statutory lawyer tariff (Advokatuuri seadus); advocates’ fees are agreed privately.
