How To Use The Prison Good Time Calculator   

Using the images and information below and also working in tandem with the actual calculator on the right side of the screen, we can easily figure the * guesstimated time that could possibly be shaved off a prison or jail sentence. As well, this calculator does not record input or cookies or IP addresses... that's not to say if you attempt to crack it we wont find out... but it does not record regular usage.

This calculator serves a number of purposes. We do understand that the person who is or will be convicted will be using this calculator to find out what kind of time they can expect to do, as well their family and friends. But also to the victim of a crime, and to members of law enforcement; you can calculate the approximate date when an inmate will be released from prison or jail.

* Guesstimated: We do caution the user that this is not an exact science and that other factors are involved to compute good time credits that are beyond our control. As an example: If the user of the prison calculator is sent to prison and causes a fight - this would reduce the amount of good time granted. The same goes for any other infraction received while incarcerated. So while this is not an exact and correct mathematical tool, you can base the amount of time pretty close should you not get in trouble, the facility doesn't change any prison mathematics; hence things change all the time. With that being said, here are the instructions on how to use the calculator:






1 Choose whether you will calculate Federal Prison or State Prison Time. Each State Prison Department of Corrections (DOC) has a different algorithm for sentence computation as does the Federal Board of Prisons (BOP)

2 If you are choosing a Federal BOP sentence click here for "Yes". You'll notice that R.D.A.P is set to "No" automatically. This is due to not knowing if you are eligible for a drug treatment program. If you are you can shave even more time off of your sentence. Click the link to find out how. As well, you should also notice that the "State" information has gone blank. If you have made a mistake and would like to use "State" simply click "No" on this line

3 If you are eligible for R.D.A.P. (Residential Drug Abuse Program - it has longer names but we'll stick with this), then choose "Yes". You'll also notice that there is a "?" located next to RDAP - this is for more information as it pertains to the treatment program.

4 If you will be incarcerated at the State level or are simply curious to see what kind of "good time credit" can be earned in your state, select "Yes". You'll notice the "Federal" information has now been grayed out.

5 Choose the state from the drop down box. Doing so will automatically adjust the computation points in the system.

6 Date of surrender is not necessary when using the state system. For the Federal system you'll put in your "Date of Surrender". If you surrender at 2pm it will actually count as a full day... so its best to add this date.

7 If you had been incarcerated for any length of time, put that amount in here. This time will be deducted from your total time. As well, it will also be counted as "good time" as this reflects your sentence as a whole. Please check with your probation officer or attorney to find out if your state has different rules about time spent while waiting for trial or transfer.

8 This one is pretty straightforward with one exception: You can enter a number of Years + Months + Days; or simply the number of Years, or, the number of Months, or, the number of total Days... or mix up any amount

9 Once you have all of the information placed in the necessary boxes - simply click on "Calculate My Good Time" and you will be brought to another screen which will state the number of "Total Days To Serve", "Possible Good Time Credit" and the "Date of Possible Release" as shown in the image below:
