Statutory Penalties Fines in Illinois

In Illinois, statutory penalty fines for criminal offenses are governed by the specific sentencing range set out in 730 ILCS 5/5-4.5-50. That statute establishes the fine amounts applicable to each felony or misdemeanor class, along with any mandatory minimums or maximums that may apply. The law also provides factors the court must consider when imposing a fine, as well as exceptions that may alter the standard amount. Because the exact fine depends on the offense class and any applicable adjustments under the statute, the official text at the ILGA link contains the complete schedule and criteria. The worked example below demonstrates how the rule applies to a specific scenario. Use the calculator to estimate your own potential fine under this section.
