What is the maximum fine for Class 1 Felony?

• A. $100,000
• B. $50,000
• C. $1,000,000
• D. $2,000

Answer: (A)

Fines for felonies in Virginia are set by the class of the offense, with Class 1 being the most serious. The statute imposes a monetary cap for this class, regardless of the length of imprisonment, and that cap is $100,000. So even though the court can impose a long prison term (including life or other substantial years), the maximum fine the law allows for a Class 1 felony is $100,000. The other amounts either exceed the statutory cap or are below it, so they do not represent the maximum allowable fine.
