Statutory Penalties Fines in California

California law sets statutory penalty fines for criminal offenses under Penal Code sections 19, 672, and 1202.4(b). These provisions establish the maximum fine amounts and mandatory restitution fines that apply upon conviction. The specific dollar figure is stated in the verified source linked below. The rule operates through a statutory framework: the court imposes a base fine, and additional penalty assessments are added by law. A worked example demonstrating the calculation appears below. Because the exact amount depends on the offense and applicable enhancements, readers should use the DocketMath calculator to estimate their own potential statutory penalties.
