Penalty Units

Some amounts of money in Northern Territory (NT) legislation are shown as penalty units rather than dollars.

For example, if you are fined in the NT, you will be charged in penalty units rather than dollar amounts.

A penalty unit is a set amount of money used to work out each fine.

How much is a penalty unit

The value of a monetary unit is calculated in line with changes to Darwin's Consumer Price Index (CPI).

For more information on CPI, go to the Australian Bureau of Statistics website [2.

How to calculate

Your fine is calculated by multiplying the value of a single unit by the number of penalty units for each offence.

Read the Penalty Units Act 2009 C.

The value of penalty unit financial year as per legislation is below.
