What is the offense level?

The offense level (1–43) is set by the base offense level for the crime plus adjustments — for example, loss amount in a fraud case, drug quantity, weapon enhancements, role in the offense, or acceptance of responsibility.

What is criminal history category?

Prior convictions earn points under §4A1.1. Points are added and mapped to a category from I (0–1 pts) through VI (13+ pts). More history moves the range to the right on the table.

Are the guidelines mandatory?

No. Since United States v. Booker (2005) the guidelines are advisory. Judges must calculate the range but may vary based on the §3553(a) factors.

Mandatory minimums override the chart

Some statutes (drugs, firearms, child exploitation) impose mandatory minimums that can exceed the guideline range. Those minimums control regardless of the table.
