$145state-set

15 mph over the limit, first offense, on an interstate or state highway — the full arithmetic is on this page.

Wyoming writes speeding fines into state law itself — 1-5 mph over (interstates, state highways, other roadways): $5 – $25 · 6-10 mph over (interstates, state highways, other roadways): $107 – $115 · 11-20 mph over (interstates, state highways, other roadways): $125 – $170. Where mandatory surcharges attach on top, this page itemizes them with their statutes. For 15 mph over the limit, the all-in figure is $145. What raises it: urban districts and construction zones; school zones; heavy vehicles (over 39,000 lbs gvw/gvwr). Points: Wyoming has no driver's-license point system. WYDOT counts moving-violation convictions instead: the fourth within 12 months brings a 90-day suspension. Minor speeding is excluded from that count by statute — convictions below 80 mph where the limit is 65+ (and below 6 over elsewhere) are not considered for suspension, except school- and construction-zone violations. Every row on this page carries its citation — 3 primary sources (statute text, court fine schedules, DMV publications), each with a retrieval date, plus the local-variation caveat that applies in Wyoming. This is a reference to what the law and the schedules print; it is not legal advice.

How Wyoming sets it Wyoming's statute prints a per-mph fine formula (W.S. 31-5-1201(d)), and the Wyoming Supreme Court's uniform bond schedule turns it into an exact dollar amount for every mph over, used in all circuit courts. On interstates and state highways, 1-5 over costs $5 per mph with no fees at all; from 6 over, $75 in fixed fees ($20 court costs + $40 court automation + $10 civil legal services + $5 officer training) stacks onto the formula fine. School zones and urban/construction zones run on their own, higher formulas.

The fine, tier by tier

Speeding fines in Wyoming by speed over the limit. “Base fine” is what the statute or schedule names; “what you actually owe” includes the mandatory add-ons where state law fixes them.
Speed over the limit Base fine What you actually owe Citation
1-5 mph over (interstates, state highways, other roadways) $5 – $25 state-set $5 – $25 state-set W.S. 31-5-1201(d)(vi)(A), (d)(v); 2025 Bond Schedule

$5.00 for each mph over, capped at $25.00 — and no court costs, automation fee, civil legal services fee, or officer training fee attach at 1-5 over, so the fine is the whole amount ($5, $10, $15, $20, $25).
6-10 mph over (interstates, state highways, other roadways) $32 – $40 state-set $107 – $115 state-set W.S. 31-5-1201(d)(vi)(B); 2025 Bond Schedule

Fine = $30 plus $2 for each mph past 5 over; the bond schedule's all-in amounts run $107 (+6) to $115 (+10) including the $75 fee stack.
11-20 mph over (interstates, state highways, other roadways) $50 – $95 state-set $125 – $170 state-set W.S. 31-5-1201(d)(vi)(C); 2025 Bond Schedule

Fine = $45 plus $5 for each mph past 10 over; all-in $125 (+11) to $170 (+20).
21+ mph over (interstates, state highways, other roadways) at least $100 cap only at least $175 cap only W.S. 31-5-1201(d)(vi)(D); 2025 Bond Schedule

Fine = $95 plus $5 for each mph past 20 over, with no statutory cap — $175 all-in at +21, rising $5 per additional mph ($180 at +22, $185 at +23, and so on).

The mandatory add-ons

These attach on top of whatever fine the court sets:

Add-on How it is computed Citation
Court costs $20.00 flat — waived when the speed was 1-5 mph over 2025 Bond Schedule preamble; W.S. 31-5-1201(d)(v)
Court automation fee $40.00 flat — waived when the speed was 1-5 mph over 2025 Bond Schedule preamble; W.S. 31-5-1201(d)(v)
Civil legal services fee $10.00 flat — waived when the speed was 1-5 mph over 2025 Bond Schedule preamble; W.S. 31-5-1201(d)(v)
Police officer continuing education and training fee $5.00 flat — waived when the speed was 1-5 mph over W.S. 31-5-1201(h), (d)(v)

Worked example: 15 mph over the limit, first offense, on an interstate or state highway

Line Amount Citation
Statutory fine — $45 + $5 × 5 mph past 10 over $70 W.S. 31-5-1201(d)(vi)(C)
Court costs $20 2025 Bond Schedule preamble
Court automation fee $40 2025 Bond Schedule preamble
Civil legal services fee $10 2025 Bond Schedule preamble
Officer training fee $5 W.S. 31-5-1201(h)
Total $145 state-set lines sum to $145

The statute's formula gives a $70 fine at 15 over, and four fixed fees add $75. The Supreme Court's bond schedule prints exactly $145 at '+15' — the same number in every circuit court. In an urban district or construction zone the schedule's higher formula would make 15 over $205, and in a school zone $325.

What raises it

License points

Wyoming has no driver's-license point system. WYDOT counts moving-violation convictions instead: the fourth within 12 months brings a 90-day suspension. Minor speeding is excluded from that count by statute — convictions below 80 mph where the limit is 65+ (and below 6 over elsewhere) are not considered for suspension, except school- and construction-zone violations.

Up to three moving violations are allowed in a 12-month period; the fourth suspends the license for 90 days, and each additional conviction inside the window adds another 90 days. Restricted-class licenses are suspended on the first (90 days) and second (one year) moving violations. (WYDOT, A Guide to Driving Privilege Withdrawals; W.S. 31-5-1201(d)(iv))

When a court appearance is required

A cited person must appear in court on the citation date unless the citing officer checks the 'MAY FORFEIT BOND IN LIEU OF APPEARANCE' box — then posting and forfeiting the scheduled bond disposes of the case. Any offense not listed on the uniform schedule is a mandatory appearance. (2025 Bond Schedule, cover instructions)

Local variation — the honest caveat

The Supreme Court's schedule is uniform across all circuit courts — the same all-in dollar figure for the same mph over statewide. Wyoming has no higher-speed tier that changes the charge; the variation to know about is by road type (three separate formulas: ordinary highways, urban/construction zones, school zones) rather than by county. Citations prosecuted in municipal courts under town ordinances are outside the uniform schedule. (2025 Bond Schedule preamble (Appendix I to Rule 3.1, Wyo. R. Cr. P.))

This is not legal advice This page republishes what Wyoming's statutes, court fine schedules, and driver-licensing publications print, for reference. Amounts change on legislative cycles, and the court named on a citation is the authority on what is owed in that court. Nothing here is advice about any citation or case.
