Example 1
- High-risk duties
- $2,000,000
- 1.08 dollars per euro
- Small-company box off
The ceiling is $16,200,000. Documentation is set to No, so the result names it.
EU AI Act fine calculator
Choose the breach the ceiling is for, enter worldwide turnover for the preceding financial year, and enter how many units of the selected currency buy one euro. The rate is an example, not a market rate from a given day. The calculator converts the Article 99 amount into that currency. For high-risk duties, turnover of $2,000,000, and a rate of 1.08, with the box for a small company left unchecked, the ceiling is $16,200,000. Article 99 states this amount as 15,000,000 euros, and $16,200,000 is that amount multiplied by the euro rate you enter. This is not a decision by an authority.
A GDPR ceiling, with a different percent, is on the GDPR fine page. This page uses Article 99 of the AI Act. The Act applies to systems placed on the Union market.

How the results are calculated
Turnover$2,000,000
Amount in Article 9915,000,000 euros
Rate1.08
Ceiling$16,200,000
Article 99 states the cap in euros. The rate in the field converts that cap into the currency selected at the top of the page, so the ceiling is in the same currency as the turnover.
In this example the rate is 1.08 and the turnover is $2,000,000. The amount written in Article 99 for high-risk duties, for high-risk duties in a product, and for transparency duties is $16,200,000. Three percent of that turnover is $60,000. Without the SME box the ceiling is the higher amount, $16,200,000. With the SME or startup box the ceiling is the lower amount, $60,000. Unacceptable use has a fixed cap of $37,800,000, or 7% of turnover. Incorrect information to an authority has a fixed cap of $8,100,000, or 1% of turnover. Minimal risk has a ceiling of $0.
The three duty fields do not change the amount. For high-risk use the result names the ones set to No. An empty turnover field stays empty. The calculator does not insert 2,000,000. The currency switch at the top of the page converts turnover and the rate into the selected currency. The ceiling on this page is in the currency selected at the top of the page. The conversion uses a fixed illustrative rate, not a live market price. The date under the result follows Article 113 after the 2026 amendment. Hiring, credit, and biometrics: duties from December 2, 2027. High-risk AI in a product: August 2, 2028. Chatbots and images: August 2, 2026. The ban: February 2, 2025. Article 99 fines: August 2, 2025.

The Article 99 ceiling
The ceiling is the higher or the lower of two amounts. It is not an invoice.
- 3%
- Article 99 uses this percent for high-risk duties, for high-risk duties in a product, and for transparency duties. In this calculator those choices share the same ceiling. The amount is that percent of turnover, in the currency selected at the top of the page.
- Amount in Article 99
- The other amount in that same rule, written in euros and then multiplied by the euro rate you enter. If the box for a small company is off, the calculator uses the larger of the two.
Examples
Example 2
- The same numbers
- Small-company box on
The ceiling falls to $60,000.

Example 4
- Incorrect information to an authority
- $2,000,000

The ceiling is $8,100,000. That is 1% of turnover or the fixed cap, in the currency selected at the top of the page.
Common questions
Why is the ceiling $16,200,000 when the box for a small company is off?
Article 99 uses the larger amount. 3% of turnover is $60,000. The amount written in Article 99, multiplied by the euro rate you enter, is $16,200,000. The larger one is the amount from Article 99.
What does the box for a small company change?
The ceiling becomes the lower of those two amounts. In the example that is $60,000.
Does a customer chatbot use the 7% ceiling?
No. Here the amount written in Article 99 is $16,200,000, or 3% of turnover. The 7% ceiling is for a banned practice.
Does missing documentation raise the amount?
No. For high-risk use the result only names what is missing. The amount still comes from turnover and the statutory ceiling.
Where does 1.08 come from?
It comes from the number in the field. It is not a live market rate. An empty rate field does not produce a ceiling. Changing the currency at the top of the page rescales this number.
Is this a decision by a regulator?
No. It is the statutory ceiling, calculated from the numbers you enter.
When do the duties apply?
Hiring, credit, and biometrics from December 2, 2027. High-risk AI in a product from August 2, 2028. Chatbot transparency from August 2, 2026. The ban from February 2, 2025. Article 99 fines from August 2, 2025. The dates follow Article 113 after the 2026 amendment.
