With our Swiss fine calculator, all you have to do is fill in a few details and you'll know how high the radar fine is likely to be.
First select the speed limit or the Permitted speed and whether the speed camera urban, extra-urban or on the Motorway has found.
Then you have to enter, How fast you actually drove. You probably don't know exactly, so it's better to estimate a little more generously. If, on the other hand, you already have the exact information about how much you were travelling, you can also select "officially determined net speed".
Last but not least, you need to select which Type of speed camera was involved. If you are not sure whether it was a fixed radar or laser, you can simply select radar, as the safety margin is similar here.
Once you have entered all the details in the bus calculator, you will receive the result of how much the speed camera will probably cost. The information is of course only a Estimatebut this way you can prepare yourself for the upcoming fine.
In addition to a fine, a speeding offence can also have other consequences. Let's take a look at this in the list of fines.

The catalogue of fines shows what consequences speeding (what a long word) and other misconduct on the road can have. As the name suggests, this often leads to a fine. However, other consequences are also possible for particularly serious offences.
The Swiss catalogue of fines is based on the Ordinance on Administrative Fineswhich last appeared in the April 2024 adjusted was committed. Below is an overview of each fine depending on the offence and infringement.
According to the Swiss Road Traffic Act (SVG) and the Ordinance on Traffic Regulations (VRV), the following speed limits apply:
If these Maximum speed limits exceededthe catalogue of fines provides for the following fines:
All fines are dealt with in the so-called administrative fine procedure. This is a simplified procedure in which the police can directly impose a fine of up to CHF 300.
If you more than 16 km/h in urban areas, more than 21 km/h outside urban areas or on the Motorway more than 26 km/h If you were speeding, you will receive a report and a warning.
In addition to the administrative fine procedure, in which the penalty is determined, a ordinary court proceedings initiated. In this procedure, further measures are defined to prevent you from committing a similar speeding offence again.
Are you drove another 5 km/h faster than the limit values just listed, then in addition to the fine you are threatened with a Driving licence revocation. The duration depends on the amount of the offence, but is generally between one and three months. The withdrawal of a driver's licence must be carefully checked for professional drivers.

Our speed camera calculator uses the speed camera catalogue described above to calculate the amount of speed camera fines. However, there are a few other important points that you should bear in mind.
If you were only speeding a little, you won't get a speed camera. This is because there are always certain tolerance limits before an administrative measure is imposed. As you can see in our fine calculator, these depend on the type of radar or speed camera.
Here is an overview of the respective Tolerance limits and safety margins of the most common types of speed cameras:
Fixed radar:
Mobile radar (from a moving car):
Laser:
Particularly serious speeding offences are punished as speeding offences. It is assumed that the speed endangers human lives.
For this reason, it is also strictly regulated with a Punishment of up to four years' imprisonment [Art. 90 para. 3 SVG]. In addition, the driving licence will be revoked for at least two years. Withdrawal for an indefinite period is also possible, depending on the severity and nature of the offence.
If you exceed the speed limit, you are deemed to be speeding and risk criminal proceedings:
As a new driver, you are subject to the same regulations, fines and other consequences. In the first 3 years you have the Driving licence only on probation.
If you have been flashed for a blatant speeding offence, which will result in your driving licence being revoked, the Probationary period extended by 1 year. If you commit a second offence, you will even lose your driving licence and thus your fitness to drive altogether.

If you receive a fine or a complaint, this must always be followed by a Information on legal remedies are located. It will show you how you can defend yourself against this.
As a rule, you can pay a fine for a Objection within 10 or 30 days raise.
However, this is hardly worthwhile, especially in the case of fines caused by a speed camera. Because then you would have to prove that the radar flashed incorrectly. That is almost impossible.
With a impending deportation An objection to this may prove to be worthwhile. The court can often have a certain Discretion and in borderline cases, instead of a withdrawal, only a Warning to pronounce.
Fines for speeding offences in Switzerland range from CHF 40 to CHF 260.
It depends on the type of road. In urban areas it costs CHF 120, out of town CHF 100 and on the motorway CHF 60.
In the 50 zone (i.e. in urban areas), a tolerance limit of between 3 and 7 km/h applies, depending on the type of speed camera. Lasers are the most accurate, which is why the tolerance here is only 3 km/h. A mobile radar cannot measure as accurately, so the limit here is 7 km/h.
On the motorway, the speed and, in turn, the type of radar are important for the road traffic office. At 120 km/h, the tolerance is 4 km/h for a laser, 6 km/h for a fixed radar and 8 km/h for a mobile radar.
