The sentence depends on the state, the circumstances, any priors, the D.A., the defense attorney (and the job that both he and the D.A. do, and any plea bargains) and the Court, as well as a jury, if that applies. There are quite a few variables. A few months to a few years is about all one can guess with the information provided.
When it comes to vehicular manslaughter it depends on the judge and where in the world you live. You can serve anywhere from 6 years to life in prison.
The mandatory sentence for vehicular homicide varies by jurisdiction, but it often includes a minimum prison term. In many places, it can range from a few years to over a decade, depending on the circumstances, such as whether the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Some jurisdictions may also impose additional penalties, including fines or license suspensions. Always check local laws for the most accurate information.
There are some limits, but not many in Florida. Life or capital crimes have no limit. Others are limited to 3 years.

None. Assuming that you are asking about a person that has been charged, has gone to court for trial, and has been found guilty of aggravated vehicular homicide, then the jury will, sometimes, recommend a sentence. If the judge allows. Many factors come into play when this court happens. But the literal answer to your question is no jail time. He or she is sentenced to PRISON, which is totally different from a jail. Go to a law library and do some research into some cases and find information, called discoveries, and you will see that it's not a one-size-fits-all answer. Also, be aware that homicide is different from vehicular homicide; aggravated vehicular homicde is, again, different. Each charge carries different plays in court.
The additional years a judge may add to a sentence for vehicular homicide due to previous DUI convictions can vary significantly by jurisdiction and specific circumstances of the case. Generally, judges may impose enhanced penalties, often ranging from a few years to several years for each prior DUI conviction. It's essential to consult local laws or legal precedents for specific guidelines, as these can differ widely.
If found guilty the judge will make that determination, which will be based on many factors, when you are sentenced.
