Form N225 Calculator

This calculates the two interest figures in Section D plus a running subtotal with court fees and legal representative's costs added in. It doesn't yet account for payments received since issue, or further legal costs on entering judgment — add or subtract those yourself to reach the final "amount payable."

1 Your figures

£

The principal sum claimed — before any interest.

£

Interest already accrued up to the date you issued the claim (this is the figure from your claim form / particulars of claim — usually £0 unless you claimed interest for a period before issue).

The date your claim was issued.

Interest is calculated up to this date.

8% is the statutory rate under s.69 County Courts Act 1984, unless your contract specifies a different rate.

£

The court fee you paid when you issued the claim.

£

Fixed costs you're entitled to claim, if you used a solicitor.

2 What to put in Section D

Calculated

Amount of claim as admitted (including interest at date of issue)

£0.00

Interest since date of claim (if any)

£0.00

Subtotal

£0.00
Interest since the date of claim is calculated on the initial claim amount only (not on the pre-claim interest).

The subtotal above doesn't deduct any payments already received since you issued the claim, or add any further legal representative's costs on entering judgment — subtract or add those yourself to reach the final "amount payable."
