PROGRESSIVE FEE CALCULATIONS
The plugin supports progressive calculations rather than simply applying one percentage to the entire transaction value.
For example, where a transaction falls across different fee brackets, the calculator can calculate the applicable amount for each bracket and provide a transparent breakdown.
Example
For an ₦80 million conveyancing transaction under the configured Lagos Scale 4 structure:
First ₦50 million
10% = ₦5,000,000
Remaining ₦30 million
5% = ₦1,500,000
Professional Fee
₦6,500,000
The calculator can then display applicable VAT separately where enabled.
PROFESSIONAL CALCULATION BREAKDOWN
The result screen can display:
- Applicable LPRO rule
- Rule type
- State
- State Band
- Practitioner tier
- Transaction value
- Applicable bracket
- Base amount
- Rate
- Excess amount
- Fee generated
- Professional fee
- VAT
- Total
This makes the result easier to understand and audit.
PRINT-FRIENDLY RESULTS
The calculator includes a dedicated print layout for professional fee estimates.
The print version removes interactive calculator controls such as:
- Refresh
- Copy Result
- Interactive buttons
This provides a cleaner document for:
- Client communication
- Internal records
- Fee estimates
- Preliminary quotations
- Printing
- Saving as PDF through the browser
COPY RESULT
Users can copy the generated fee result for use in:
- Client communications
- Internal documents
- Fee proposals
ADVANCED ADMIN DASHBOARD
The plugin provides administrative controls for managing the calculator database.
Administrators can manage configured:
- Services
- States
- State Bands
- PQE Tiers
- Fee Rules
- Fee Slabs
This allows the calculator to be maintained from WordPress without editing the plugin’s PHP code.
JSON IMPORT & EXPORT
The plugin includes an advanced JSON data management system.
Import
Import a supplied or previously exported fee dataset.
Export
Export the current fee database as JSON.
Replace Entire Fee Database
Administrators can replace the existing fee database with a supplied dataset.
Backup
Create a backup before making major database changes.
This makes it easier to move or restore the calculator configuration.
STABLE RULE MAPPING
The plugin is designed to avoid relying solely on WordPress database IDs when importing fee data.
Fee rules can be associated using stable service identifiers and rule keys.
This helps prevent database-ID conflicts when importing a dataset into another WordPress installation.
SMART FRONTEND INTERFACE
The calculator intelligently displays the fields relevant to the selected service.
Depending on the selected service, the calculator can show or hide:
- Service
- State
- PQE Tier
- Transaction / Claim Value
This keeps the frontend cleaner and easier to use.
