Indiana Vehicle Registration Fee Calculator

Indiana stacks a $21.35 registration fee, a $15 Transportation Infrastructure Improvement Fee, county wheel/surtaxes, and — the big variable — an annual excise tax set by the vehicle's original MSRP class and age: from $532 for the newest expensive vehicles down to a $12 floor. For 2026, EVs add a $242 supplemental fee and all hybrids $81 (both indexed annually).

Frequently asked questions

What is the Indiana vehicle excise tax?

An annual tax collected with registration, set by which of 17 value classes your vehicle's original MSRP falls into and its age. A new $45,000 vehicle starts around $500/yr and decays each year toward the $12 floor that old vehicles pay.

Why is my Indiana renewal more than $21.35?

The registration fee is only the start: every renewal adds the $15 infrastructure fee, your county's wheel tax or surtax, and the excise tax — which dwarfs the rest for newer vehicles.
