The AAA-ICDR Administrative Fee Calculator calculates estimated administrative fees for cases under the:
- AAA® Commercial Rules
- AAA Construction Rules
- ICDR® International Procedures
- AAA Employment Rules
- AAA Consumer Rules
The AAA-ICDR Commercial, Construction, and International Rules and Procedures offer parties two options for the payment of administrative fees under these rules: The Standard Fee Schedule and the Flexible Fee Schedule. For both schedules, administrative fees are based on the amount of the claim or counterclaim and are to be paid by the party bringing the claim or counterclaim at the time the demand or claim is filed with the AAA-ICDR. Arbitrator compensation and expenses are not included in either schedule. Unless the parties’ agreement provides otherwise, arbitrator compensation, expenses and administrative fees are subject to allocation by an arbitrator in an award. Calculations are based on the current administrative fee schedules and do not include Additional Party Fees, arbitrator compensation or expenses. Please review the fee schedule for the rules applicable to your case for complete information.
For all international cases, as determined by the AAA–ICDR, the International Fee Schedule shall apply. In general, an arbitration is international if the parties are from different countries or if the subject matter of the dispute is situated outside the country of one of the parties.
The Calculator will only calculate AAA Employment Arbitration Rules administrative fees for cases between an individual and a company. To calculate Employment/Workplace Mass Arbitration fees, or review application of said fee schedule, please refer to the Employment Fee Schedule.
The Calculator will only calculate AAA Consumer Rules Calculator administrative fees for cases between a Single Consumer and a business. To calculate Mass Arbitration filing fees, or review application of these fees, please refer to the Consumer Fee Schedule.
**IMPORTANT: See the applicable Fee Schedule for more information. The administrative fee calculations are solely based on the information you enter. If, upon review of your arbitration filing, the AAA-ICDR determines that different rules or a different fee schedule applies, you may be charged a different amount than stated in this calculator. Beginning October 1, 2017, AAA will apply the Employment Fee Schedule to any dispute between an individual employee or an independent contractor (working or performing as an individual and not incorporated) and a business or organization and the dispute involves work or work-related claims, including any statutory claims and including work-related claims under independent contractor agreements.
