Wisconsin speeding tickets aren’t one ticket fits all. The total cost can vary based on how fast you were going, where you were going and if you’ve had other tickets in the past year. This calculator will give you an estimate of the fine and court costs you’ll owe.
To use it, enter the posted speed limit where you were driving. That’s the number on the sign. Then enter the speed you were going when you got pulled over. The calculator will figure out how many mph over the limit you were.
Next choose the type of area where the violation occurred. Wisconsin increases fines in school zones and construction zones. If you were in a school zone your fine will be doubled. If it was in a construction zone the fine will be increased by about 50%.
The calculator also asks how many speeding tickets you’ve had in the past 12 months. Wisconsin courts charge extra for repeat offenders. If this wasn’t your first ticket in the last year, your fine will go up by about $25 for each prior ticket.
Finally the calculator adds a standard court cost. Most Wisconsin courts charge a mandatory cost of around $93.50 which is included in your total.
This is not legal advice but it will give you a good estimate of what you’ll be facing after a speeding ticket in Wisconsin.

When we started our firm in the midst of the recession, we learned to survive in a lean environment and pass the savings on to our clients. As the economy has improved, we have not changed our philosophy. We are hungry to grow our client base, and so we have intentionally set our rates below what the market will bear. Our mission is to make each client walk away feeling that they got more value than they paid for. This is easier to do when we make our prices affordable.
The secret to our success as a firm is incredibly simple: we build a personal relationship with each of our clients and treat them with the respect that they deserve. We pride ourselves on our open lines of communication, frequent check-ins with our clients, and our accessibility. We are here to help you in any way we can, often leveraging our network of resources to assist you with non-legal issues that you may be having. We are your one-stop problem-solver and trusted adviser. All attorneys say that they provide excellent client service, but, unlike other attorneys, we practice what we preach. We make sure every client walks away happy . . . period.
We are your community law firm. Our business is built on long-term relationships with our clients. Our clients have the luxury of building trust over time with one team of attorneys, rather than having to find a new attorney for each different type of matter that arises over the course of their lives. No one attorney can be experienced at everything. That is why we have worked hard to assemble a team of attorneys with extensive experience in different areas of experience. Our attorneys work together closely to bring our collective experience to bear on any issue that may arise for our clients.
Since our business comes entirely from referrals and community involvement, our reputation for quality legal work is our greatest asset . . . and it is extremely important to us. Each of our attorneys is truly experienced in his or her practice areas, with the highest personal standards of excellence. We are proud of our reputation in the community, and we did not achieve it by accident. Our reputation for excellence comes from hard work, continuing education, and an above-and-beyond approach to our clients’ cases.
