How LTO registration in Philippines is calculated
The Philippines charges an annual LTO registration fee for private cars, based on gross vehicle weight: 1,600 PHP up to 1,600 kg, 3,600 to 2,300 kg and 8,000 above.
An emission test, compulsory insurance and any penalties add to the total. The calculator returns the weight-based base fee. 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.
