Virginia Statutory Penalties and Fines

In Virginia, statutory penalty fines for felony convictions are set by Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-10, which establishes the authorized punishment ranges. That statute defines the fine amounts and imprisonment terms that a court may impose for each felony classification, from Class 1 through Class 6. The law provides the maximum and minimum fines that apply depending on the class of the felony, and it also specifies when a fine may be imposed in addition to or instead of imprisonment. Certain offenses carry their own separate penalty provisions outside this general schedule. The exact fine amounts and classification details are listed in the official source. The worked example below demonstrates how the statute applies to a typical case. Use the calculator to estimate potential penalties under your specific circumstances.
