How Dálniční známka (motorway vignette) in Czechia is calculated
Czechia abolished road tax for private cars, so there is no annual ownership charge to compute. The recurring cost drivers plan for is the motorway e-vignette.
The annual vignette costs 2,570 CZK in 2026 (up 130 CZK), with 1-day (230), 10-day (300) and 30-day (480) options and an exemption for electric and hydrogen vehicles that the government plans to end in 2027. Estimate, not tax 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.
