Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this DUI fine estimator?
It produces a research-based range using each state's typical statutory minimums, court costs, attorney fees, IID, SR-22 insurance, and DUI school. Real costs vary by judge, county, plea, and state.
Why is the high-end so much higher than the low-end?
DUI sentences fall on a wide statutory range. Aggravating factors (high BAC, refusal, injury, minors) push you toward the maximum; clean records and good attorneys pull you toward the minimum.
What's the biggest hidden cost of a DUI?
Insurance. Three years of SR-22 / FR-44 surcharges typically adds $4,000–$8,000 — often more than the court fine itself.
