The False 498A Expense Estimator is a beta version tool designed to calculate the average litigation expenses a man may incur. The estimations are based on typical costs in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities.
Why This Calculator? 🧾
When a man is falsely accused, it’s not just him who suffers. Entire families — especially elderly parents and siblings — are dragged into cases, made to appear in court, and spend years fighting to prove their innocence. The legal system moves slowly, and every hearing, adjournment, and document submission adds up in terms of both money and mental burden. This calculator highlights these compounding costs.

Reality of Men Litigation Harassment ⚖️
When a man is falsely accused, it’s not just him who suffers. Entire families — especially elderly parents and siblings — are dragged into cases, made to appear in court, and spend years fighting to prove their innocence.

Emotional & Career Fallout 💔
Beyond legal fees, false allegations affect a man’s mental health, job performance, and professional growth. Promotions are delayed or lost, savings are drained, and anxiety becomes a daily part of life. Yet, very few men can afford therapy or emotional support. By adding emotional and career losses into the calculation, we try to quantify what is often suffered in silence — the invisible cost of false accusations.
What This Tool Reflects 📊
This calculator does not offer a legally fixed number, but an estimate based on real-world data and inputs from men who have lived through these experiences. It’s a tool to educate society, lawmakers, and even the judiciary on how a single false case can cripple a man’s finances for life. We encourage you to use it, reflect on the figures, and share it to help spread awareness about this overlooked injustice.
