Statutory Penalties Fines in Alabama

Alabama law sets the maximum fine for a felony or misdemeanor conviction under the specific statutes that govern each offense class. For felonies, the penalty is determined by Ala. Code § 13A-5-11, and for misdemeanors, by Ala. Code § 13A-5-12. These statutes establish the upper limits a court may impose, and the official code text lists the applicable amounts and any graduated ranges based on the offense classification. The law also provides factors a judge may consider when setting the fine within those boundaries. The calculator below applies the current statutory figures from the official Alabama Code to compute a fine estimate based on the offense level entered.
