Finepost · Fines

Every UK fine calculator and guide, by case

Most UK fines are not round numbers somebody guessed; they come off published tables, banded to income or fixed by statute. Each page here works from that table, names it, dates it, and says plainly where the table ends and discretion begins.

Every figure carries its date · How we check our figures
