How registration in Canada is calculated
Canada has no CO2 car tax; the annual cost is a provincial registration renewal fee. Southern Ontario eliminated it, Quebec charges 400+ CAD via the SAAQ, BC bundles it with ICBC insurance, and Alberta charges around 93 CAD.
Pick your province from the dropdown for the annual figure, or enter a fee directly — British Columbia bundles it into the ICBC insurance premium, so there is no separate figure to quote there. Estimate, not advice.

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.
