HTML Part
#back-top is the scroll top button. #top is added to the body tag for no JavaScript fallback.

<html>
<head>
  <title>Scroll to top</title>
<head>
<body id="top">
  <div class="wrap"> <!--main div-->
  <!-- contents here -->
  </div>
  <div id="back-top"><!-- scroll top button -->
    <a href="#top"><span></span>Back to Top</a>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

CSS Part
#back-top position is fixed 30px bottom and 100px right, top.png as background and transition is 1 second.

/*

*/
#back-top {

  bottom: 30px;
  right: 100px;
}

  text-align: center;
  font: 11px/100% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

jQuery Part

$(function() {
  // cache scroll to top button
  var b = $('#back-top');
  // Hide scroll top button
  b.hide();
  // FadeIn or FadeOut scroll to top button on scroll
  $(window).on('scroll', function(){
    // if you scroll more then 400px then fadein goto top button
    if ($(this).scrollTop() > 400) {
      b.fadeIn();
    // otherwise fadeout button
    } else {
      b.fadeOut();
    }
  });
  // Animated scroll to top
  b.on('click', function(){
    $('html,body').animate({
      scrollTop: 0
    }, 500 );
    return false;
  });
});
