How the calculation works
Every Florida felony is ranked on a severity scale of 1–10. Points are added from the charge, prior record, victim injury, and other factors, then multiplied by any enhancement. The total determines the minimum sentence.
- ≤ 22 points: court must generally impose a non-prison sanction.
- 23–44 points: non-prison sanction is permissible; judge has discretion.
- > 44 points: minimum prison = (total − 28) × 0.75 months.
- ≥ 363 points: court may impose life imprisonment.
What this calculator does not account for
- Minimum mandatory sentences (10/20/Life, drug trafficking, Prison Releasee Reoffender)
- Habitual Felony Offender and Violent Career Criminal designations
- Statutory maximums (the scoresheet sets a floor, not a ceiling)
- Downward departures under § 921.0026
- Youthful offender sentencing under § 958.04
- Plea negotiations and prosecutorial discretion
- Credit for time served and gain time
Why call a lawyer?
Scoresheets are often wrong — priors miscategorized, offenses over-leveled, injury points applied without a proper jury finding, or enhancements that shouldn’t apply. A careful review routinely moves cases down the scoresheet, sometimes below the 44-point threshold that mandates prison. That’s exactly what we do at the Law Offices of Matthews R. Bark, P.A.
