Search with entries such as “18 usc 922g,” “18 U.S.C. § 1001,” “wire fraud,” or “felon in possession.” The estimator suggests matching charges, identifies the applicable guideline pathway, and explains each available answer.

Read the result responsibly
An educational estimate—not a promised sentence.
Rules interact
Cross-references, grouping, criminal-history rules, mandatory terms, departures, and variances may require separate analysis.
PCRA can verify it
The completed estimate identifies uncertain answers and can be submitted to PCRA for a free preliminary review.
After the sentence
Estimate BOP security, time credits, RDAP, and reentry placement.
The Guideline range is only one part of the federal sentence. PCRA’s BOP tool explains the separate classification and time-credit rules that may affect custody and prerelease planning.
