Depends entirely on where you live. If you do the equivalent crime in Finland, you will be fined 6-14 "day fines". Each day fine is calculated to be (your_monthly_gross_income - 255€)/60, minimum of 6€ and unbound from above.
I believe that this system is much more just than flat fines. A fine is not payment for a service, it is a punishment. It should hurt as much whether you are poor or rich.
