Why trust these numbers

  • 1

    Official sources only. Fees come from statutes, agency fee schedules and published rates, never from other calculators.

  • 2

    Every line is sourced and dated. Each result links to the document it came from and shows when we last checked it.

  • 3

    No guesses published. If we haven't verified a figure, we say so instead of showing a number.
