Varies from state to state but I would expect anywhere from $110 to $180 (no kidding). It ain't cheap, even the first time.

You only did 15 miles over. I live in TX and I got one for 20 miles over (75 in a 55) and it was 180.00. If you want to do deferred adjudication (it won't go on your record as long as you don't get another ticket within a certain time frame, could be 30 days to 6 months) that's an additional 50.00. If you want to do defensive driving to help your record I think that's an additional 60.00 plus the time you have to waste taking the class. But if you don't do either then in addition to paying the ticket your insurance will go up. So no matter how you cut it you can't win.

Depends upon the jurisdiction you live in. Tickets cost differently in each and every state and vary by city and municipality. 15 over the limit may not be to bad on a limited access highway (freeway), but on a major county road with at grade cross streets...it might be much more. If your state offers "Traffic School" and you are eligible take it, your ticket won't appear on your insurance record any the cost of the ticket plus the school will be less than the hike in insurance premiums,

That is 15mph over limit. In NC that is an automatic 30 day ban - if the judge is feeling generous. The fines are also a bit steeper than common-or-garden speeding.
You need to check your local laws. It is evident from the answers that each state views this offense differently.

SLOW DOWN ! ! !
FIRST - On the front and near the bottom of the summons, there is a box: "Court Appearance Required". If that box is checked, then you HAVE to go to court on the date indicated on the summons.
On the back of the summons is a Phone number of the Municipal Court where your case will be heard. Call that number and ask the Court Clerk for whatever you need to know. The clerk will be happy to help you.
Good Luck.
. . .and SLOW DOWN ! ! !

Usually if you turn the ticket over you can simply mail in your payment and not even go to court, so you should be able to see the fine right there.

In some jurisdictions if you have no priors and go to court you can make a deal where you don't have to pay anything in exchange for court supervision.
