Overview

The Vehicle Tax Calculator estimates the annual Korean vehicle tax based on engine displacement (cc), vehicle type, and age. Korean local tax law applies tiered rates: 80 KRW/cc up to 1,000 cc, 140 KRW/cc up to 1,600 cc, and 200 KRW/cc above 1,600 cc for non-commercial passenger cars, with age-based reductions.

Formula

Vehicle Tax = Displacement (cc) x Rate per cc x (1 - Age Reduction). A 30% Local Education Tax is added. Example: 2,000 cc non-commercial car → 2,000 x 200 = 400,000 KRW + 120,000 KRW education tax = 520,000 KRW/year.

2. 2Select vehicle type (passenger, van, truck, etc.) and commercial or non-commercial use.
3. 3Enter the first registration year to apply the age-based reduction.
4. 4Click 'Calculate' to see the annual vehicle tax and local education tax.
