Amount of car tax and car tax calculator
The amount of car tax depends on the general retail value of the car on the Finnish market and the emission reading (CO2). The car tax calculator can give you an estimate of how much car tax you must pay on a used vehicle. To estimate the amount of the car tax you need to have the estimate of the vehicle's selling price in Finland. You can search for the price in the price information service for used vehicles.
Please note that the calculator can only give a rough estimate. You can see the final amount of tax on your car tax decision after you have filed a car tax return.
The calculator can give you an estimated car tax amount for
- passenger cars taken into use on 1 January 2008 or after
- motorcycles taken into use on 1 January 2003 or after
- vans taken into use on 1 April 2009 or after.

Car tax or vehicle tax?
The Finnish car tax (autovero in Finnish) is only paid once – at the time of the motor vehicle's first entry into service in the territory of Finland, or at the time of the vehicle's registration here. The car tax is paid to the Finnish Tax Administration.
Vehicle tax (ajoneuvovero in Finnish) has to be paid once a year. The Finnish Transport and Communications agency Traficom collects the vehicle tax from car owners annually.
