Massachusetts Vehicle Registration Fee Calculator
Massachusetts registration is $60 per two-year cycle ($30/yr shown) plus a $75 title fee — but every vehicle also owes annual municipal excise tax of $25 per $1,000 of valuation, which starts around 90% of MSRP and declines. That excise commonly costs new-car owners several hundred dollars a year.
