Frequently asked questions
- How much do courts pay for jury duty?
- US federal courts pay $50/day for the first 10 days, then $60/day. State courts vary widely — from as little as $5/day to over $50/day. Check your local court's published juror compensation schedule.
- Are employers required to pay during jury duty?
- Federal law and most states prohibit employers from firing employees for jury service but do not require paid leave. Some states and many employers voluntarily pay full or partial salary during jury duty.
- Is jury duty pay taxable?
- Yes. Court jury fees are generally taxable income. If your employer pays your full salary while you are on jury duty and requires you to remit the court's fee to them, you can deduct the amount you turned over.
