How much is a speeding fine in Denmark?

The fine grows with the percentage over the limit.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

In Denmark the speeding fine depends on the speed limit, how many percent you were over it and the type of vehicle and road. Under the guideline fine rates of 27 February 2025, a car doing 51–59 km/h in a 50 zone pays 1,200 kr., and 60–64 km/h costs 1,800 kr. On a road with an 80 limit, 81–95 km/h costs 1,200 kr. and 112–119 km/h costs 2,400 kr. At 30 % or more over the limit on ordinary roads a supplement of 1,200 kr. is added, and in temporary roadworks zones the fines are doubled.

Practical info

Why

  1. Even a few km/h too fast costs at least 1,200 kr.
  2. The percentage over the limit sets the level.
  3. Roadworks zones double the fine.

Details

More than 30 % over the limit also gives a klip (penalty point) in your licence, and in 2026 a klip adds 1,000 kr. for the Victims Fund on top of the fine.

Tip

In a 50 zone even 10 km/h too fast is 20 % over the limit, so keep an eye on the speedometer in towns.

What may differ

The amounts are guidelines and do not apply where there was an accident or a dangerous situation; the list can be updated.

Common misconception

A speeding fine in Denmark is a fixed amount whatever the speed.

What actually happens

The amount rises in steps with how many percent you were over the limit, and supplements are added at high speeds.
