It really depends on your state, I live in Ky, here you would pull just over 3 years of a 4 year sentence.
In Michigan, inmates typically serve at least 85% of their sentence for good behavior and participation in rehabilitation programs. Therefore, on a 5-year sentence, an inmate would likely serve around 4 years and 3 months.
3months All of it Feds don't give good time.
Their sentence was 6 months. They are not ENTITLED to shorter time, but may EARN it by good behavior.
You will be in jail for 8 years, unless you are let out on parole or good behavior.

A 120-month federal prison sentence is equivalent to 10 years. Generally, inmates serve around 85% of their sentence due to good behavior and other factors, so a person sentenced to 10 years may serve around 8.5 years in federal prison.
Apparently for the offense(s) he committed, 15 years would have been the total sentence but the judge reduced to to 10. That will now be the maximum sentence. Did the judge say that he had to serve 10 before eligible for parole? If so, he will have to serve the full 10 - less any "good time" he earns while in prison that (if he keeps his nose clean) should help reduce the sentence a little.
In Massachusetts, individuals serving a 1 to 2 year sentence may be eligible for parole after serving a portion of their time, typically around half of the sentence. This means you could potentially serve as little as 6 months on a 1-year sentence or 12 months on a 2-year sentence, depending on good behavior and other factors. Additionally, inmates may also have the opportunity to earn time off for good behavior, potentially reducing their time served further.
Typically, individuals sentenced to five years in prison will serve the full five years, unless they are eligible for parole or good behavior credits which may reduce the time served.
In Texas, inmates typically serve about 75% of their sentence for good behavior, meaning an inmate with a 35-year sentence for murder could serve around 26-27 years before becoming eligible for parole. The specific time served can also be influenced by parole board decisions and other factors.
Between 15-24 months for good behavior, generally 1/3 to 1/2 the sentenced time if its non violant probation violation.
It will serve a total of 49 months unless there is a program that will help thatched inmate qualify for early release or if the inmate qualify for 6 months in a half way house and can be dismissed before his 6 months for good behavior. It is good to cheek for any possibility of early release there is a lots of programs that we don't know about of course all is depending on etched type of felony
