What does the speeding fines cost calculator estimate?
Speeding fines look small one by one, but across a fleet they add up to a steady yearly cost. They also take staff time: someone has to check who drove, pay or dispute the fine, and recover it from the driver where policy allows.
This calculator loads the speeding fine table for Saudi Arabia, the UAE or Oman, multiplies it by how often your vehicles are caught in each speed band, and shows the yearly fines, the net cost to the company after recovery from drivers, the cost per vehicle, and the breakdown by band. A second tab shows what a lower violation rate would save.
What are the speeding fines in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Oman?
The values below are the ones loaded into the calculator, as of October 2026. Fine schedules change, so verify current values with the traffic authority before you budget. This page is not legal advice.
Saudi Arabia
As reported by Ajel in July 2026, citing the General Directorate of Traffic, the fine depends on the road's limit and how far over it the driver was. Fines are ranges; the calculator uses the minimum of each range as a conservative default. Enter the midpoint or the maximum to test a higher case. Violations are recorded by the automated Saher cameras or by traffic patrols. Source: Ajel.
| Road limit | Over the limit by | Fine (SAR) | Default used |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 120 km/h | 10–20 km/h | 150–300 | 150 |
| Up to 120 km/h | 20–30 km/h | 300–500 | 300 |
| Up to 120 km/h | 30–40 km/h | 800–1,000 | 800 |
| Up to 120 km/h | 40–50 km/h | 1,200–1,500 | 1,200 |
| Up to 120 km/h | More than 50 km/h | 1,500–2,000 | 1,500 |
| 140 km/h | 5–10 km/h | 300–500 | 300 |
| 140 km/h | 10–20 km/h | 800–1,000 | 800 |
| 140 km/h | 20–30 km/h | 1,200–1,500 | 1,200 |
| 140 km/h | More than 30 km/h | 1,500–2,000 | 1,500 |
United Arab Emirates
Federal traffic fines under Ministerial Resolution No. 178 of 2017, as published on the UAE government portal. The higher bands also carry black points and impound of light vehicles; enter the impound cost in the other-cost column. Emirates may apply local rules on top, such as impound release fees, so check with the police of the emirate where your vehicles drive. Source: u.ae, Traffic and Patrol Laws.
| Over the limit by | Fine (AED) | Black points | Impound (light vehicles) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 20 km/h | 300 | — | — |
| Up to 30 km/h | 600 | — | — |
| Up to 40 km/h | 700 | — | — |
| Up to 50 km/h | 1,000 | — | — |
| Up to 60 km/h | 1,500 | 6 | 15 days |
| More than 60 km/h | 2,000 | 12 | 30 days |
| More than 80 km/h | 3,000 | 23 | 60 days |
Oman
We did not find a current speeding fine table on the Royal Oman Police website. The values below are as reported by the Oman Observer in January 2018, citing the Royal Oman Police. That report gives no value for 35–50 km/h over, so the calculator leaves that fine empty for you to fill in. Source: Oman Observer.
| Over the limit by | Fine (OMR) | Black points |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 35 km/h | 10 | — |
| 35–50 km/h | Not reported | — |
| 50–75 km/h | 35 | 2 |
| More than 75 km/h | 50 | 3 |
What you need to estimate fleet speeding costs
| Input | Where to find it | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Violations by speed band | Fines log, traffic authority portal, last year's fine statements | Divide each band's count by vehicles and months to get the rate per vehicle per month. |
| Share the company pays | Fleet or driver policy, payroll deductions | Count only fines actually recovered, not those you plan to recover. |
| Admin time per fine | Ask the person who handles fines | Include checking who drove, paying, disputing and recording. |
| Other cost per violation | Impound invoices, rental or downtime records | Use it for the bands that carry impound. |
| Reduction scenario | Your target or a pilot result | Start with a cautious figure and replace it with measured results. |
How is the cost of speeding violations calculated?

Net cost to the company
Reduction scenario
Cost per vehicle is the yearly figure divided by the number of vehicles. The reduction applies to every band equally.
Worked example: 40 vehicles in Saudi Arabia
A fleet of 40 vehicles uses the Saudi table with the default counts: 0.41 violations per vehicle per month across all bands, most of them 10–20 km/h over on roads up to 120 km/h. Amounts are in SAR.
- Fines per vehicle per month: 0.2 × 150 + 0.08 × 300 + 0.03 × 800 + 0.01 × 1,200 + 0.01 × 1,500 + 0.05 × 300 + 0.02 × 800 + 0.01 × 1,200 = 148.
- For the fleet that is 148 × 40 = 5,920 a month, or 71,040 a year, from 16.4 violations a month (about 197 a year).
- Admin time of 20 minutes at 80 an hour costs 26.67 per fine, or 5,248 a year.
- The company pays 50% of fines (35,520) and recovers the rest from drivers. Net company cost is 35,520 + 5,248 = 40,768 a year, or about 1,019 per vehicle.
- Violations 30 km/h or more over on 120 km/h roads are 12% of the count but 34% of the fines.
- With 40% fewer violations, the company would save about 16,307 a year and avoid about 79 violations.
How to read your results
- Yearly fines is the full amount issued to your vehicles, whoever pays it.
- Net company cost is what stays with the company after recovery from drivers, plus admin and other costs. Use it for the budget.
- The band breakdown shows where the money goes. A few high-speed violations can cost more than many small ones, and they carry the most risk.
- The scenario is only as good as the reduction you enter. Replace it with your own results once you have a few months of data.
Common mistakes when costing speeding fines
- Counting only what the company pays. Fines recovered from drivers still cost admin time and affect driver morale and retention.
- Ignoring the high bands. They are rare but expensive, and in the UAE they bring black points and impound.
- Using one month. Violations vary with season, routes and new drivers. Use at least six to twelve months of fines.
- Mixing currencies. Fine tables are in local currency. If you switch the currency, convert the fines too.
- Treating the table as final. Fine schedules change. Check the official source before you budget.
Assumptions and limits
Results are estimates based on the values entered. The fine tables are a starting point as of October 2026 and may not reflect later changes, discounts, late-payment surcharges or local rules; verify current values with the traffic authority. The calculator does not decide who is liable for a fine and is not legal advice. It does not include accident costs, insurance effects or license suspensions. The reduction scenario is an assumption you set, not a measured or promised result.
