Updated October 9, 2026. Yes, but the amount depends on which court called you.
Federal petit jurors are paid $50 for each day they attend. After 10 days on one case, the judge can order up to $60 a day. Federal grand jurors are paid $50 a day and can receive up to $60 after 45 days. Federal employees generally receive their regular salary instead of the attendance fee. Courts also reimburse reasonable travel and, if you are kept overnight, meals and lodging. An employer may not fire you for federal jury service. Federal law does not require that employer to keep paying your wages.
State and county rates are set locally and are often lower than $50. Any state-by-state dollar list published on this site before 2023 should be checked against that court’s current juror page before you rely on it.
The attendance fee is taxable income. Travel reimbursement generally is not. If federal attendance fees exceed $600 in a year, the court can issue a Form 1099.
