Starting level and typical ranges

The starting level for this offense depends on another offense: offense level from the most similar guideline. Find the guideline for the most similar crime and work out its level, including its increases and decreases. Enter that level here. For a conviction under 18 U.S.C. §1841(a)(1) (harm to an unborn child), use the guideline for the crime that caused the harm. Use the calculator above and enter that level when asked.

Important details

  • If no guideline is similar enough, there is no offense level. The judge sentences under the general factors in 18 U.S.C. §3553, and guideline rules that still make sense, such as probation, supervised release and restitution, still apply (§2X5.1).
  • This guideline is only for felonies. Class A misdemeanors with no guideline use §2X5.2.
  • The calculator does not apply mandatory minimum sentences set by statute for this offense. If the statute of conviction requires one and it is higher than the range shown, the minimum controls; check the statute or ask a lawyer.
  • Calculator limits: The level comes entirely from the most similar guideline. Look up that offense and enter its level.

Frequently asked questions

Is the calculator accurate for other felonies?

It follows §2X5.1 of the Guidelines Manual effective November 1, 2025. It passed 5 review rounds, each comparing every number, rule and label with the manual text, and its last round found nothing to correct. Those reviews were done with AI tools, not by lawyers, and it has not yet been reviewed by an attorney, so mistakes are possible. The guidelines are advisory, and a lawyer who knows the case can tell you what actually applies.
