How IPVA (vehicle property tax) in Brazil is calculated
IPVA is Brazil's annual vehicle tax, levied by each state as a percentage of the car's market value from the FIPE table. For 2026 São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio charge 4% and Santa Catarina 2%, while Paraná cut its rate from 3.5% to 1.9% — now the lowest in the country.
Most states exempt older vehicles — commonly those over twenty years old — so an old car pays nothing. The calculator applies that age exemption automatically; pick your state from the dropdown to load its rate, or choose "Outro" to type one in.
Because the tax is simply rate times value, it is easy to verify against the state tax authority's own IPVA lookup. Estimativa, não é aconselhamento fiscal.

| Alíquota aplicada ✓ pinned | 0.04 |
| Exempt ✓ pinned | 0 |
| IPVA anual ✓ pinned | 3,200 BRL |
Every computed row comes from the engine, run on the inputs above. Rows marked ✓ pinned are also fixed by a published self-test, so a change to the model that moved them would fail its own tests.
