Speeding Ticket Fines in Ontario

Updated November 1, 2026

Published by Ontario Speeding Tickets · Sources and editorial policy

For an ordinary speeding ticket in Ontario, the total payable combines the set fine, a victim fine surcharge and court costs. The set-fine rates below come from the Ontario Court of Justice schedule updated July 1, 2026. They are not a quote for every speeding-related charge.

The amount on your actual notice controls the payment option offered. A community safety zone, construction-zone circumstances, a summons or a stunt driving charge can change the calculation or procedure.

Ordinary Speeding Set-Fine Rates

The charts start at 10 km/h over the limit. This is not a permitted speeding allowance: tickets can also be issued below 10 km/h over, and the $2.50 rate applies throughout the 1–19 km/h band. Multiply the excess speed by the applicable rate, then add the surcharge and $5 in costs. For example, 21 km/h over gives a $78.75 set fine, a $20 surcharge and $5 in costs: $103.75 total payable.

Speeding Fines: 10 to 29 km/h Over

Ordinary speeding at 10 to 15 km/h over carries no demerit points. At 16 to 29 km/h over, it carries three points. A conviction with no points can still affect insurance.

Speeding Fines: 30 to 49 km/h Over

*At 40–49 km/h over, Ontario lists six points on roads posted below 80 km/h; otherwise the ordinary four-point band applies. Check the actual offence and Ontario speeding demerit-point rules. These are ordinary speeding calculations. A speed of 40 km/h or more over on a road with a limit below 80 km/h can trigger stunt driving penalties. Driving at least 150 km/h can also qualify. Do not use the ordinary table to predict those consequences.

Why a Higher Speed Can Change the Whole Fine

The applicable rate multiplies every kilometre over the limit, not just the kilometres within the highest band. For example, 19 km/h over gives a $47.50 set fine. At 20 km/h over, the calculation changes to 20 × $3.75, giving a $75 set fine. The totals payable are $62.50 and $95 respectively.

The surcharge also changes in bands. This explains why the amount due sometimes jumps by more than the per-kilometre rate. A set fine, total payable and court-imposed fine are different amounts; compare the labels before comparing two tickets.

Example: 40 km/h Over the Limit

An ordinary section 128 offence notice at 40 km/h over has a $240 set fine and $295 total payable. That example does not cover a stunt-driving charge. On a road posted below 80 km/h, 40 km/h over can meet the stunt-driving threshold and bring separate licence and court consequences.

If the police reduced the alleged speed, the printed charge determines the ordinary payment example. A decision to dispute it still needs an evidence and risk review. Compare fighting a speeding ticket in Ontario with the payment, resolution and trial options.

Community Safety and Construction Zones

The set-fine schedule has separate entries for designated zones, including doubled per-kilometre rates for community safety zones and qualifying construction zones with workers present. Check the exact offence and conditions instead of doubling an ordinary total payable yourself: the surcharge changes with the underlying fine.

Fines, Demerit Points and Insurance Are Separate

Paying an offence notice is a guilty plea and records a conviction. A ticket carrying no points can still be relevant to your insurance assessment. Novice drivers should also review demerit points and escalating licence sanctions.

If you wish to contest the charge, follow the response instructions and deadline on the notice. Read the options for an Ontario speeding ticket before deciding how to proceed. A court-imposed fine can differ from the set-fine settlement amount.
