Statutory Penalties Fines in Wisconsin

Under Wisconsin law, the maximum penalty for a felony is 60 years in prison. This ceiling is set by Wis. Stat. § 939.50, which classifies felonies into lettered classes and assigns each class a maximum term of imprisonment and a potential fine. The statute provides the penalty framework for all felony offenses in the state, with the highest class carrying the 60-year maximum. Lower classes carry proportionally shorter maximum terms and lower fine amounts, as specified in the statute. The official source at docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/document/statutes/939.50 lists each class and its exact penalty range. The worked example below demonstrates how a specific felony class maps to its statutory maximum. To estimate the potential penalty for a particular charge, use the DocketMath calculator.
