Illustrative total
~$11,350
You enter a representative court fine, defense fee estimate, mandatory program costs, probation fees, months and monthly rate for ignition interlock, a lump sum for extra insurance cost during SR-22 or high-risk periods, towing and impound, license reinstatement, and missed income. The offense tier scales only the court fine line to reflect that repeat DUIs usually carry higher statutory penalties. Everything sums to one planning total.
