The statutory fine and the payable amount.
The Supreme Court Statewide Violations Bureau Schedule lists ordinary payable speeding totals from $86 through $261 for its 1–39-over rows. It requires court handling at 40 mph over and for specified commercial-license or enhanced-zone offenses. These are fine-and-fee payment amounts; they are not an upper bound on a judge’s statutory sentencing power.

Your record is a separate cost.
New Jersey assigns 2 points for 1–14 mph over, 4 for 15–29 over and 5 for 30+ over. Reckless driving adds 5 points; an out-of-state moving violation generally adds 2.
Twelve or more points on the current driving record causes a scheduled suspension notice. Six or more points within 3 years separately triggers an MVC surcharge.
MVC keeps a permanent point history. One year without violations or suspensions deducts 3 current points, starting at the violation or most recent restoration date. Deductions do not erase that history.

The 2026 ValuePenguin quote study reports a 29% average increase for one speeding ticket in New Jersey. Your insurer, coverage and driving history can produce a different result. Read the study and its sample.
The NAIC 2023 combined average premium for New Jersey is $1,693.39 per year. This historical measure combines liability, collision and comprehensive averages.
At $1,693.39 per year and 29%, the illustration adds $491.08 per year, about $40.92 per month.
Applying a 2026 quote-study percentage to the historical 2023 NAIC combined premium is illustrative math. These sources use different populations and coverage methods; this is not a measured post-ticket average or a current quote. No future premium increase is included in a court fine.

The questions
behind the ticket.
How much is 5 over in New Jersey?
The estimate shown is $86. The published schedule is dated July 29, 2021; it remains linked by the Judiciary. A CDL holder at 15 mph or more over and any driver at 40 mph or more over must appear. Safe-corridor and construction offenses at 20 or more over also require appearance.
Will my insurance go up?
A conviction can affect premiums, but your insurer uses its own rules. The 2026 ValuePenguin quote study reports a 29% average increase for one speeding ticket in New Jersey. Your insurer, coverage and driving history can produce a different result. A points-free outcome does not promise an unchanged premium.
Does traffic school remove points?
An MVC-approved defensive-driving program can deduct 2 points once in 5 years. Ordered Driver Improvement and Probationary Driver programs have separate rules and are not interchangeable. Confirm eligibility before enrolling or paying your ticket.
Is this the amount I should pay?
No. The estimate explains a published schedule. Pay only the amount confirmed by the court handling the citation, through its official instructions.
What if I do not respond on time?
Follow the court date on the summons. Woolwich Municipal Court requires a not-guilty request at least 7 days before that date when appearance is not already mandatory. A ticket marked Appearance Required must be addressed with the named court. Missing a deadline can add consequences. Ask the court about extensions or payment help before it passes.
