Washington State·Felony Sentencing Grid Calculator
DubbleBooked
A fast, cited standard-range calculator on your inputs. You are the legal authority. This tool looks up the seriousness level, applies the correct grid, and adds enhancements — every number carries its RCW citation. You confirm the inputs; it does the arithmetic.

Seriousness level
Set automatically when you pick a crime. Override if needed.
—
Pick a crime to pre-fill the level.
You're the authority on what's charged.
The seriousness level (I–XVI) is set by statute for each offense in RCW 9.94A.515 — it's a property of the crime, not a discretionary call. We pre-fill it from the offense you pick. Confirm it, or override when one of these applies:
- Charged degree or subsection differs — some offenses carry different seriousness levels by subsection (e.g., the value or means alleged). Match the level to what's actually charged.
- Anticipatory offense (attempt, solicitation, or conspiracy) — use the completed offense's seriousness level, but the standard range is then calculated at 75% of the grid range (RCW 9.94A.595). This tool reports the full grid range — apply the 75% reduction yourself.
- Unranked felony — some felonies aren't listed in the grid and carry no grid range. The court imposes a determinate sentence of generally up to one year of confinement (more only as an exceptional sentence, and never above the statutory maximum for the offense) (RCW 9.94A.505). If your offense isn't in the list, it may be unranked — verify in the manual.
When unsure, confirm against the offense's entry in the 2025 Adult Sentencing Manual.
Step 3 of 5
Offender score
We do not compute criminal history. Enter the score you determined. 9 = “9 or more.”
Your offender score (0–9+) comes from RCW 9.94A.525. The point most people miss: the same prior counts for a different number of points depending on what the current offense is — there's a separate scoring rule for each offense category, so use the scoring form for your current offense.
- Prior felony convictions are counted and weighted by type. As a general guide, prior serious violent felonies score highest, violent felonies next, and other felonies least — but the exact points are fixed by your current offense's subsection of RCW 9.94A.525. Use that form.
- Other current offenses (multiple charges sentenced together) also add to the score.
- Wash-out: some priors drop out if the defendant stayed crime-free in the community — generally 5 years for class C felonies and 10 years for class B; class A felonies and sex offenses do not wash out. Confirm the timing rules.
- Juvenile adjudications can count, subject to current law.
- Post-Blake: convictions for simple drug possession are void and do not count toward the score.
- Enter 9 for a score of 9 or more — the grid tops out there.
This tool does not compute the score. Determine it from RCW 9.94A.525 and the manual's scoring forms, then enter it. When in doubt, score it both ways and note the range.
Step 4 of 5
Class & enhancements — optional
Felony class is not in the seriousness table, so enhancement amounts depend on the class you set. Confirm from the statute defining the offense.
Felony class (A/B/C) comes from the statute defining the offense, not the seriousness table; it sets the enhancement amounts — confirm it from the charging statute.
Enhancements: check only those supported by the facts and actually pled and proven. Firearm, deadly-weapon, and sexual-motivation amounts depend on the felony class. The four “not auto-computed” enhancements must be verified in the manual. Enhancements are generally mandatory and run consecutively to the base sentence. RCW 9.94A.533

Standard sentence range

Verify — do not assert
Sentencing alternatives
These turn on facts this tool does not collect. Shown as “⚠ may be eligible — verify” only. Never asserted.
These ⚠ flags mean only that the offense type does not obviously exclude the alternative — they are not eligibility determinations. Eligibility turns on facts this tool does not collect (treatment history, custody of a minor, prior record). Verify each against its statute.
Not legal advice. This is a beta calculation tool for a licensed attorney's use. It reports the standard sentence range only;
a court may impose an exceptional sentence above or below the range (RCW 9.94A.535), and mandatory minimums, consecutive-sentence rules,
merger, and same-criminal-conduct determinations are not modeled. The offender score is taken as entered by the user — criminal history is not computed.
Sentencing-alternative flags indicate possible eligibility only and must be verified against the facts and statute.
All figures are derived from the RCW grid text and must be confirmed against the 2025 Washington Adult Sentencing Manual before any reliance.
