How to use this Calculator Site tool
Enter your car's CO2 emissions in grams per kilometre (g/km). You can find this in your V5C logbook. Select whether it's the car's first year of registration and if its original list price was over £40,000. The calculator will then show your annual and monthly tax.
Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), often called car tax or road tax, is a yearly tax for vehicles on UK public roads. For cars registered after 1 April 2017, the amount you pay for the first year is based on the vehicle's CO2 emissions. After the first year, a flat standard rate applies, though a pricey surcharge is added for cars with a list price over £40,000.
This system is designed to encourage the use of more environmentally friendly cars. However, significant changes are coming, especially for electric vehicles. Our calculator is kept up-to-date with the latest rates from GOV.UK.
