Free · No login required # Fleet highway use cost calculator What do federal and state highway charges cost your fleet per year, and how much do you need to raise your rates to pass that on? Enter your truck groups once and compare 2025 with every year through 2028. ## Your fleet The figures below are an example. Replace them with your own truck groups: trucks with the same gross weight and setup share one group. Truck group 1 Trucks Gross weight lb Axles Setup Taxable or declared gross weight of the truck or combination. Modeled up to 80,000 lb; Oregon extended-weight (Table B) operations are not included. Miles per truck per year Oregon mi New York (non-Thruway) mi Kentucky mi New Mexico mi Ohio Turnpike mi Pennsylvania Turnpike mi New Jersey Turnpike mi NY State Thruway mi Indiana Toll Road mi Illinois Tollway mi All other miles mi Enter New York miles without toll-paid Thruway miles: those are not taxed under the New York HUT, so enter them under NY State Thruway. Other miles count toward the HVUT 5,000-mile test. NYC Congestion Relief Zone entries per truck per year Priced at the peak toll per entry. Overnight entries cost 75% less and crossing credits are not deducted, so this is a ceiling. ## Toll rates Dollars per mile for your trucks. Only Ohio publishes a per-mile truck rate, for a high 5-axle truck (Class 5, E-ZPass). The others publish plaza-to-plaza tolls: take total tolls ÷ tolled miles from your own statements, or work it out from the linked schedule.

Partial-period tax for trucks first used after July is not modeled. State mileage taxes: miles in the state × the published rate for the group's gross weight. Rates that change during a year are weighted by days. New York uses the gross weight method at the laden rate on every taxable mile; unladen miles cost less, so treat it as a ceiling. Tolls: tolled miles × your dollars per mile. Where no schedule is published the rate stays flat across the years. Rate increase: the extra cost between the two years you compare, divided by your revenue. The per-mile surcharge spreads the same amount over all your miles. IFTA fuel tax is not included. It is a separate quarterly filing based on fuel bought and miles run in each jurisdiction.

The yearly cost of federal HVUT, state mileage taxes in Oregon, New York, Kentucky and New Mexico, turnpike tolls and NYC congestion tolls for your whole fleet, from 2025 through 2028\. It then turns the extra cost between two years into the percentage to add to your rates and a surcharge per mile. ### How much is the heavy vehicle use tax? For a truck first used in July, the Form 2290 annual tax is $100 at 55,000 pounds, plus $22 for each additional 1,000 pounds, up to $550 over 75,000 pounds. Trucks under 55,000 pounds pay nothing, and a truck expected to run 5,000 miles or less in the period (7,500 for farm vehicles) is suspended from the tax. ### Which states charge a mileage tax on trucks? This calculator covers the four that apply to general freight: Oregon above 26,000 pounds, New York above 18,000 pounds, Kentucky at 60,000 pounds and up, and New Mexico above 26,000 pounds. Each has its own permit or registration and its own return, on top of IFTA. ### Do Oregon's weight-mile rates change in 2027? Yes. ODOT has published a new Table A effective July 1, 2027, with nine weight groups instead of 27 up to 80,000 pounds. At 80,000 pounds the rate stays at 251.2 mills per mile, but several middle weights change. The calculator weighs 2027 by days. ### Why did New Mexico's tax go up? New Mexico raised its weight-distance tax by 35% on July 1, 2026, the first change in more than two decades, to fund road maintenance. For a truck in the top class that means about 59.10 mills per mile, up from 43.78\. The calculator applies 35% to the statute schedule and marks those figures as derived. ### Do New York Thruway miles count for the highway use tax? No. The New York highway use tax does not apply to miles on the toll-paid portion of the Thruway. Enter those miles under NY State Thruway and only your other New York miles under New York. ### Why are most toll rates empty? Because a fair per-mile figure is not published. Ohio states its rate per mile for each class, but most toll roads publish plaza-to-plaza tolls that vary by class, time and payment method. Divide your total tolls by your tolled miles from your own toll statements for the most accurate figure. ### What does NYC congestion pricing cost a truck? At peak times $14.40 per entry for a single-unit truck and $21.60 for a multi-unit truck, in 2025 through 2027\. The MTA board set those at 60% of the full rates, rising to 80% for 2028 through 2030 and to the full rate from 2031\. Trucks pay on every entry, so count entries, not days. ### How do I pass highway costs on to my customers? Add the percentage to your rates or charge the per-mile surcharge on top of your line-haul rate. Many carriers list it as a separate accessorial reviewed once a year, like a fuel surcharge. ### Is IFTA fuel tax included? No. IFTA is a fuel tax settled quarterly across jurisdictions, based on fuel bought and miles run, so it depends on your fuel purchases rather than your weight. Use the IFTA calculator for that part.
