Court costs are routine and set by the court. Attorney fees are calculated like any routine legal bill.

Even though virtually all civil matters request attorney fees and court costs, the US doesn't have a loser pays system, so unless there is a legal basis (generally statutory) making an exception, each side pays its own bills. (In other words, it is a standard part of virtually all prayers for relief - you throw it in just to make sure you are protecting your client if this is one of the cases where the winner is permitted to make the loser pay.)
