How Godišnja naknada (annual road fee) in Croatia is calculated
Croatia's recurring car charge is the annual public-roads fee, collected when the car passes its technical inspection.
It is set by engine displacement. For 2026 the base rose from 28.50 to 40 EUR — the first change since 2003 — lifting the fee by roughly 60%: 38.40 EUR up to 1,000 ccm, 79.60 up to 1,600 and 95.60 up to 2,000. Bands above 2,000 ccm are estimated here because the official ladder for them was not obtainable. Estimate, not tax advice.

Estimate. Not tax advice. The rates in this calculator are illustrative: they reproduce the shape of the charge through 3 self-test cases, but they are not the official schedule, so the amount shown will not match your bill. Use the official source above for that.
Check the arithmetic yourself: how this calculator is verified — the formula behind every derived value, the 3 test cases the engine reproduces, and what the badge does and does not claim. Also available as machine-readable JSON.
