How do bounties work in skyrim

I was playing Skyrim and going on a rampage for fun. I was watching my bounty go up and go down and that sparked the question of how do bounties work? If you kill someone and someone sees you, how long does it take for the bounty to be permanent (Saying if you kill them and your bounty goes away) and how come when you kill someone when going on a rampage or having a high bounty, your bounty only decreases by 40 even when everyone is killed? Can someone tell me how bounties work?
