Federal Sentencing Guidelines Calculator

This is a free informational tool based on the U.S. Sentencing Commission Guidelines Manual (Nov. 1, 2024). It does not provide legal advice and accuracy is not guaranteed. Only 4 of the ~200 Chapter 2 offense guidelines are currently covered (Drug Trafficking, Illegal Reentry, Fraud/Theft, Firearms), and several provisions are not yet modeled — see notes with your results. Hire a lawyer for advice on an actual case.
