Statutory Penalties Fines in Washington

The answer depends entirely on the specific criminal offense, as Washington’s statutory penalty fines are set by the classification of the crime under Wash. Rev. Code § 9A.20.021. This statute establishes a maximum fine for each class of felony, gross misdemeanor, and misdemeanor, but does not assign a single flat penalty. Instead, the law provides a ceiling, and the actual fine imposed is determined by the court after considering factors the statute outlines. The official source at the link below contains the exact classification levels and any exceptions the legislature has enacted. To estimate a potential fine for a particular charge, use the DocketMath calculator, which applies the statutory framework to your case.
