How to Use the Indiana Credit Time Calculator

Step 1: Enter Days Served

Input the number of days you have already served or expect to serve in the “Days Served” field. This should be a positive whole number.

Step 2: Select Credit Class

Choose the appropriate credit class from the dropdown menu. The options are:

• Class A (for Level 6 felonies or misdemeanors)
• Class B (for Levels 5 – 1 felonies)
• Class C (for credit-restricted felons)
• Class D (no credit given)
• Class P (for home detention pre-trial)

Each class has different credit time calculations, which the tool will automatically apply.

Step 3: Enter Educational Credit

If applicable, enter the number of days of educational credit earned. This is additional credit time given for participating in educational or rehabilitative programs while incarcerated. If you haven’t earned any educational credit, leave this field at 0.

Step 4: Calculate Credit Time

Click the “Calculate Credit Time” button. The calculator will process your inputs and display the results.

Step 5: Review the Results

The calculator will show you:

• Total Credit Time: The total number of days credited, including both standard credit time and educational credit.
• Days to Serve: The estimated number of days you may still need to serve.
• Percentage of Sentence Served: The percentage of the original sentence that will be served based on the credit calculations.

Step 6: Read the Explanation

Below the results, you’ll find an explanation of how the credit time was calculated based on your credit class. This helps you understand the specific formula used for your situation.

By following these steps, you can get a clearer picture of how credit time might affect your sentence in Indiana. Remember, while this calculator provides estimates, actual credit time decisions are made by the Indiana Department of Correction and the courts. Always consult with a legal professional for the most accurate information regarding your specific case.
