The statutory fine and the payable amount.
A separate excessive-speed criminal charge applies at 60 mph or more and at least 30 mph over a state speed zone or local limit. The first-conviction maximum is $300, three months imprisonment, or both; the second is $500, six months, or both. These criminal limits are distinct from the civil waiver chart.

Your record is a separate cost.
The citation statute controls Vermont points. Interstate section 1004 and basic-rule section 1081(b) carry 2 points at every speed. State speed zones under section 1003 and local limits under section 1007 carry 2 points at 1–10 mph over, 3 at 11–20, 5 at 21–30 and 8 at 31+. Select the statute on the citation; an unspecified statute above 10 mph over has no definite point result. A separate excessive-speed conviction under section 1097 carries 8 points. A fault-related crash adds 2 points and junior-driver recall rules can also apply.
Ten points within 2 years of conviction initiates suspension. The statutory terms are 10 days at 10 points, 30 days at 15 and 90 days at 20, plus 30 days for each additional 5 points.
A point entry counts for 2 years from conviction. That period is distinct from retaining the underlying violation record.

The 2026 ValuePenguin quote study reports a 21% average increase for one speeding ticket in Vermont. Your insurer, coverage and driving history can produce a different result. Read the study and its sample.
The NAIC 2023 combined average premium for Vermont is $957.80 per year. This historical measure combines liability, collision and comprehensive averages.
At $957.80 per year and 21%, the illustration adds $201.14 per year, about $16.76 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 15 over in Vermont?
The estimate shown is $151. The linked chart is explicitly dated September 30, 2019. Amounts include its fine, 15% assessment rounded up and $47 surcharges. This model reproduces its 1–50-over rows and commercial-vehicle columns; it does not extrapolate beyond the published chart. The citation controls the waiver amount. Separate negligent-operation or excessive-speed criminal charges are not priced. Select the exact Vermont speeding statute for point and excessive-speed rules.
Will my insurance go up?
A conviction can affect premiums, but your insurer uses its own rules. The 2026 ValuePenguin quote study reports a 21% average increase for one speeding ticket in Vermont. 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?
Vermont DMV licenses driver-training schools, but its ordinary driver-education programs do not promise ticket dismissal or a point deduction. Obtain any case-specific court approval before enrolling. 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?
The Judiciary’s current payment page says to submit the admitted or no-contest plea and waiver payment within 21 days to avoid extra fees. Follow the complaint’s instructions if contesting the charge. Missing a deadline can add consequences. Ask the court about extensions or payment help before it passes.
