What is the cost of a mediation process?

Since DKM Mediation has its own meeting room, no additional costs are charged for that. Parking in front of the building is free.

Divorces

The cost of mediation for divorces and other family matters is €195 per hour, including VAT. These costs do not include any additional expenses such as travel costs.

Workplace and business mediation

The cost of mediation for workplace and business mediation is €195 per hour, excluding VAT.

Travel costs

Travel costs will be charged from 20 kilometers outside of Amsterdam at a rate of €1 per kilometer one way, calculated from Amsterdam city center. Travel time is not charged.

All mediation processes are different, so it is difficult to estimate the costs precisely in advance. However, we can say that in more than 75% of mediation processes, the total costs range between €1,500 and €2,500.

Who pays for the costs of the process?

Agreements about the distribution of costs are made at the start of the process. Usually, a 50/50 split is chosen.

In labor disputes, the employer usually pays the costs, although this is not a requirement. Regardless of how the distribution is agreed upon, it does not affect the position of the mediator, who remains impartial and neutral in all cases.

It is possible that one of the parties qualifies for legal aid. In that case, the government covers a significant part of the costs. Not all mediation processes qualify for legal aid. Obtaining legal aid depends on the party’s assets and income. More information on this can be found on the website of the Legal Aid Council.
