Car registration fee calculator – buying and importing

Since 2025, Estonia charges a registration fee when a passenger car or van is registered in Estonia for the first time (e.g. imported) or when a car already registered in Estonia changes owner for the first time and the fee has not yet been paid. No fee arises when a lease ends in favour of the lessee or on inheritance. The fee is set and collected by the Transport Administration; the annual motor vehicle tax comes on top.

How is it calculated? (Traffic Act § 190²²–190²⁴)

• Passenger car (M1): base €150 + CO₂ part (1–117 g/km × €5, 118–150 × €10, 151–200 × €30, over 200 × €50 per gram) + mass part (€2 per kg of gross mass over 2000 kg, over 2200 kg for plug-in hybrids, up to €2000). Fully electric: €150 + €2 per kg over 2400 kg, up to €2200.
• Van (N1) and, from 2026, passenger cars with more than 7 seats and motorhomes: base €300 + CO₂ part (1–204 g/km × €2, 205–250 × €30, 251–300 × €35, over 300 × €40); fully electric €200.
• The age coefficient multiplies the CO₂ and mass parts: new 1; 1 year 0.87; 2 years 0.75; 3 years 0.65; 4 years 0.56; 5 years 0.48 … 10 years 0.22 … 20+ years 0.05. Age is full years since first registration (also abroad) until the registration or change of owner.
• An NEDC figure is multiplied by 1.21 for M1 and 1.3 for N1. Without CO₂ data it is estimated with the statutory formula from power, kerb mass and age (up to 350 g/km); a plug-in hybrid then gets 46 g/km (N1: 69).

The exact amount is shown by the official Transport Administration and Tax Board calculator by registration number or VIN. Special cases (e.g. emergency vehicles, diplomats) are not included.
