Illustrative total
~$16,131
Select a violation category to load an illustrative per-violation maximum, multiply by the number of violations, optionally increase exposure for repeat or willful classifications, then add failure-to-abate costs as days times your chosen daily rate. The output is a planning band with low and high ranges—not a prediction of a final OSHA notice.
Real citations apply gravity-based adjustments and may reduce penalties for small employers or quick fixes. Those levers are not built into this calculator—use it only as a ceiling-style sanity check.
