About Litix

A free federal sentencing guidelines calculator for attorneys and legal professionals working with the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. It produces an advisory guideline range — the range a court must calculate and consider, not the sentence a court will impose.

Some provisions are not implemented and must be applied manually: relevant conduct under §1B1.3 (the Chapter 2 worksheet records and prints the basis you assert for the quantities, amounts and counts you enter; it applies none of §1B1.3 to the arithmetic), the §3D1.2(a)–(c) grouping tests, which turn on whether counts share a victim, a common scheme or an adjustment, and the offense level §3D1.3(b) reads off an aggregated quantity — the multiple-count worksheet quotes both and records what you decide, and decides neither itself (§3D1.2, §3D1.3), the conditions of probation and supervised release, and the modification, early termination or extension of a term of supervised release (§5B1.3, §5D1.3, §5D1.4), the §5G1.2(e) apportionment of the total punishment among the counts where the career-offender guideline’s subsection (c) applies, and the §5G1.2, comment. (n.2(B)) factors for running several 18 U.S.C. § 1028A terms concurrently or consecutively — the results page states both and computes neither, because each is a determination the court makes on the case before it; subsections (a)-(d) and Application Note 3(B) are applied (§5G1.2), the §5K1.1(a) factors a court weighs on a substantial-assistance motion (the guideline itself, and its authority to sentence below a statutory minimum, are stated), the procedures of Chapter Six (§§6A1.1–6A1.5 presentence procedure and the resolution of disputed factors, §§6B1.1–6B1.4 plea agreements) — policy statements addressed to the court about how a sentencing proceeds, not figures this or any calculator computes, the organizational fine provisions this build shows but does not apply (§8C1.1, §8C2.2, §8C2.8–8C2.10, §8C3.2–8C3.4, and Chapter Eight, Parts B and D), and the 18 U.S.C. § 3014 Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act assessment and the 18 U.S.C. § 2259A child pornography assessment (the assessment card and the printed sheet state each, with the statute’s own figure, where a count’s statute of conviction triggers it; whether the defendant is non-indigent, which tier applies and the amount within it are the court’s determinations, and Litix computes neither).
