Income should be the exponent. Lets say that the fine you pay on your n’th infraction within a 365 day period is
f = I f_0 exp( (I / I_0) (n - 1) )
where f_0 is some reasonable fraction of income for the first fine (say 0.1 %), I is your income, and I_0 is some appropriate modifier (say 100 k EUR / yr). That way, people with income I < I_0 pay an essentially flat fine until they reach very many infractions, while people with large incomes will reach massive fines very quickly.
