Each party's court fee comes from the value of the claim under table I-A. Under other fees add only procedural steps and incidents, never fines (article 26.º, n.º 4 of the RCP).

Recoverable costs you can claim

Court fee paid by each party

a) The court fee you paid, in proportion to your win€510.00

b) Charges you paid€0.00

c) Compensation for your lawyer's fees€510.00

d) Enforcement agent's fees€0.00

Ceiling on the fee compensation (50%)€510.00

The ceiling is 50% of the court fees paid by BOTH parties added together, which here is €1,020.00 (article 26.º, n.º 3, point c) of the RCP).

You paid more in fees than the legal ceiling lets you recover. The difference of €990.00 stays with you, even though you won the case.

Who the losing party is and what share was won is the court's decision (articles 527.º onwards of the Code of Civil Procedure), so they are values you enter. Outside this calculator: the split between several winning parties, the cases where the public prosecutor or legal aid changes who pays, and the deadlines for challenging the note.
