Estonia car tax calculator (2026)
Estonia's new car tax is an annual charge plus a one-time registration tax, both built from a base amount, the CO₂ above 117 g/km and the mass above 2,000 kg.
Worked example: with CO₂ emissions of 150, this model computes First-year total of 614 EUR. See the full breakdown.

How car tax in Estonia is calculated
Estonia introduced a motor-vehicle tax in 2025, which makes it a topical, high-interest search. The annual tax is a 50 EUR base plus 3 EUR for every gram of CO₂ above 117 g/km and 0.20 EUR for every kilogram of mass above 2,000 kg.
A one-time registration tax works the same way from a 300 EUR base plus 5 EUR per gram of CO₂ above 117 g/km. The calculator shows both, plus the first-year total.
Rates here are illustrative of the 2025 structure and belong in the model's constants for easy refresh against the official EMTA calculator. Not tax advice.
Worked example
| CO₂ emissions (g/km, WLTP) | 150 |
|---|---|
| Gross mass (kg) | 1800 |
| CO₂ over 117 g/km ✓ | 33 |
| Mass Over | 0 |
| Annual CO₂ component | 99 |
| Annual weight component | 0 |
| Annual tax ✓ | 149 |
| Reg Co2 | 165 |
| Registration (one-time) ✓ | 465 |
| First-year total ✓ | 614 |
Every row is computed by the engine from the inputs above. Rows marked ✓ are additionally pinned by a published self-test vector.
Frequently asked questions
How much is Estonia's car tax for 150 g/km and 1,800 kg?
The annual tax is the 50 EUR base plus 3 EUR for each of the 33 grams above 117 g/km — about 149 EUR — while the mass is below the 2,000 kg threshold, so it adds nothing.
What is the difference between the annual and registration tax?
The registration tax is a one-time charge paid when the car enters the register; the annual tax recurs each year. Both are built from CO₂ and mass over the same thresholds.
Do electric cars pay the new Estonian car tax?
EVs pay a mass-based component but no CO₂ part. This model computes the CO₂-and-mass formula; a dedicated EV mode is a planned addition.

Estimate. Not tax advice. The rates in this calculator are illustrative: they reproduce the shape of the charge through 2 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.
