It really depends on your locality. In a lot of places it is $10 for every mph over the speed limit. Sometimes if it was an outrageous speed they make it $100 for every mph above 65 mph.
In most states there is also a surcharge on your car insurance for a bunch of years and maybe "points" that if they get too high result in your license being suspended.

To give you an example of how different jurisdictions (in this case the City of Austin, TX, the City of San Antonio, TX and the City of Lawrence, KS) differ in how much they charge, see the links below. I found these by typing (for example) in Google: Austin speeding fines schedule. As you can see, it's not cheap to have a lead foot, and that doesn't even include what can happen to your insurance rates for 3 yrs afterwards.

That depends on the county, state or country you are in. Most states have different fines based on speed, time of day, etc. They can range from $5.00 to jail time for reckless driving of over 100 mph. Just drive safely and you will never find out.

The fine increases as the speed over the limit goes up. Call the numbers on the ticket and a clerk can tell you.

It varies from state to state and also depends on how fast over the limit you were going. There are also court costs attached to the ticket and they vary from state to state and county to county.

It depends on what state you are in, and how fast you are going. If you're in a construction zone, it's more than usual. Try just going close to the speed limit, and save your money for something worthwhile....

Varies on ...
1.) State
2.) Speed ( how fast you went over)
3.) Construction Zone ( Fines are usually doubled here)
4.) 65MPH Zone( Fines Doubled)
5.) Safe corridor( as above)
And I think that if it's like 30MPh over you have to appear in court
These are the laws for where I live( Wayne,NJ) so Idk about where you live ....but I dont think it would vary that much

It varies by state, county, city, etc. Not including that information means you get no answer.
