Maryland Statutory Penalty Fines in Criminal Law Statutes

Maryland’s statutory penalty fines for criminal offenses are set individually within each statute of the Md. Code Ann., Criminal Law, rather than by a single fixed schedule. Under this framework, the fine for a particular violation depends entirely on the specific criminal statute that defines the offense. The relevant statute will state the maximum fine and, in some cases, a minimum fine, along with any applicable per-day or per-violation amounts. The official source at the Maryland General Assembly website provides the exact fine language for each statute. Because fines vary by statute, the calculator below applies the correct statutory provision to estimate a fine based on the offense selected.
