Belgium may withdraw your license for five years for doing 30 km/h above the limit in any speeding zone.
0.5‰ | €150 | €110 | €165 | €165 |
Note that there are two sets of fines: One for paying on the spot and one for deferred payment. Note that on-the-spot does not mean that you may pay immediately but that you will pay the fine without discussion. If you refuse you will have to go to court.

Limit – km/h | 30* | 50 | 70 | 120 |
Fine +20km/h | €150 | €150 | €150 | €150 |
Fine +40km/h | €250 | €250 | €250 | €250 |
LICENSE – maybe | 50 | 80 | 120 | 150 |
LICENSE, 8 days – 5 years |
60 | 90 | 130 | 160 |
*30km/h also applies to special places (schools) and when the sight is below 100 meters. |
6 km/h tolerance under 100 km/h, 6% over 100 km/h.
In both zones there is a basic fine of €10 if you break the limit by just 1 km/h. After that they add €10 per km/h in a 30 km/h zone and €5 everywhere else. That is until you reach 61km/h in a 30 km/h zone or break the limit by 41 km/h everywhere else. Then it is time for court and a possible license withdrawal.
Note the new (2016) low common speed limit for the countryside, it is now 70 km/h if there are no signs that indicate another limit.
The Belgian police has a web with the numbers, Bereken uw verkeersboete (in dutch).
Wegcode has a fine calculator (in Dutch).
