Fine calculator

This calculator is designed to assist magistrates and judges in calculating the total financial penalty in a case. It is not a decision making tool. General guidance is available on financial penalties and specific guidance is available on:

• prosecution costs (number 1)
• surcharge (number 2) – there are changes to the surcharge for offences committed on or after 16 June 2022
• payment of financial penalties – including payment by instalments (number 10)

The calculator takes account of:

• changes to surcharge values for offences committed on or after 16 June 2022, and
• a judgment of the Court of Appeal which states that the total fine or total length of imprisonment should be used to calculate the surcharge when there are multiple offences.
