Federal jury pay estimator

Four boxes. Attendance, travel, overnight, then wages you already expect. The math runs here. It is not the clerk’s voucher, not tax advice, and not a promise the court will pay the total. Fee source: 28 U.S.C. § 1871.

1. Attendance

Only days you actually sit or report as the court counts attendance.

Kind of service

Days of attendance

I am a federal employee (salary usually replaces the $50 fee) The judge authorized the extra $10 a day

Petit: extra $10 may apply after 10 days on one case. Grand: after 45 days. Only if the judge orders it.

Days that get the extra $10

2. Travel

Shortest practical route. The court, not this page, decides countable miles.

How you are entering miles

Miles

Court mileage rate ($ / mile)

Parking and tolls the court will repay ($)

3. Overnight

Leave at zero unless the court required a stay away from home.

Subsistence the court listed ($)

4. Employer wages (optional)

Not required. Use this only to see court pay next to wages you already expect. Federal law does not require a private employer to keep paying wages.

Wages you still expect for those days ($)

Parking is often receipt-only and discretionary. Federal employees generally receive salary instead of the $50 fee. Harborline does not store these numbers.
