What does this Florida scoresheet calculator compute?

It totals the sentence points on a Florida Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet from the factors you enter (primary offense, additional offenses, prior record, victim injury, legal status, community-sanction violations, prior serious/capital felony, and firearm possession), then computes the lowest permissible sentence using the formula in Fla. Stat. § 921.0024. Every point value comes verbatim from that statute.

Does it look up the offense severity level for me?

Yes. Select the charged offense and the tool fills in its severity level (1-10) from the Offense Severity Ranking Chart in Fla. Stat. § 921.0022, reproduced verbatim from the official statute. The same statute can rank at different levels by subsection, so confirm the exact charge in the list. If a charge is not listed in the chart, set the level manually using the Fla. Stat. § 921.0023 degree default.

Why is the lowest permissible sentence sometimes 'any nonstate-prison sanction'?

Per § 921.0024(2), when the total sentence points are at or below the statute's threshold, the lowest permissible sentence is any nonstate-prison sanction — there is no scoresheet prison floor. Above the threshold, the months are computed by subtracting 28 points and decreasing the remainder by 25 percent, exactly as the statute directs.

Is this legal advice or a sentence prediction?

No. It is an educational estimate of the scoresheet arithmetic only. It does not apply the statutory-maximum cap, departures, mandatory minimums, or any case-specific law, and it is not a prediction of any sentence. Verify against the current statute and the controlling chart.

How the scoresheet works

Every Florida felony sentencing runs through a Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet that totals points for the primary offense, any additional offenses, the prior record, victim injury, legal status, community-sanction violations, and firearm possession, and adds enhancements for prior serious or capital felonies. The total drives the lowest permissible sentence — the guideline floor a judge may not go below without a written departure. This calculator reproduces that arithmetic from the verified statute text; it does not weigh the facts of any case.

For the statewide and county distribution of scoresheet outcomes — how often sentences fall below the guideline floor, the plea rate, and the mitigated-departure rate by charge and county — see the Florida sentencing scoresheet data study.
