    Short answer

    It depends on the limit and how fast you went. Where the limit is 60 km/h or less, the fee is 100 euros for up to 10 km/h over, 170 euros for 11 to 15 km/h and 200 euros for 16 to 20 km/h. Where the limit is above 60 km/h, the fees are 70, 140 and 170 euros. Above 20 km/h over the limit, the police impose day fines based on your income.

    Why

    1. Moottori lists 100, 170 and 200 euros for limits of 60 km/h or less.
    2. Moottori lists 70, 140 and 170 euros for limits above 60 km/h.
    3. Speeding by more than 20 km/h leads to day fines, according to Moottori.

    Details

    The fees are higher at lower limits because speeding in towns is more dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists.

    Tip

    Use cruise control on long, straight roads. It is easy to creep over the limit without noticing.

    What may differ

    Fees can change. The amounts above were checked in November 2026.

    Common misconception

    Speeding fines in Finland are always based on your income.

    What actually happens

    Small speeding offences have fixed fees. Day fines start above 20 km/h over.
