# Appeals - How much money is needed to appeal a dispute? And to confirm the appeal? What is it for?

* To appeal a dispute or confirm it, the amount required is `(Juror_Fee + Draft_Fee + Settle_Fee) x collateral factor x number of jurors`.
  * Guardian fees = `Juror_Fee`
  * Draft fees = `Draft_Fee`
  * Settlement fees = `Settle_Fee`
  * Collateral factor = 3 to appeal, 2 to confirm
* So that means:
  * Appeal dispute: `((Juror_Fee + Draft_Fee + Settle_Fee) x 3) x number of jurors`
  * Confirm appeal: `((Juror_Fee + Draft_Fee + Settle_Fee) x 2) x number of jurors`

| Appeal number | Number of guardians drafted |
| ------------- | --------------------------- |
| First appeal  | 9                           |
| Second appeal | 27                          |
| Third appeal  | 81                          |

* For the final round, the same formulas apply, but costs are reduced by 50%. The number of guardians for the final round is computed as `total active stake / min active balance`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://legacy-docs.aragon.org/faq/products/aragon-court-faq/appeals-how-much-money-is-needed-to-appeal-a-dispute-and-to-confirm-the-appeal-what-is-it-for.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
