Auto Belasting Calculator Nederland

Calculate your annual Dutch car tax (auto belasting) based on your vehicle's value, fuel type, and CO2 emissions. This calculator helps you understand how these factors affect your tax liability and compare different vehicles.

How to Use This Calculator

To calculate your Dutch car tax:

Enter your vehicle's list price (in euros)
Select your vehicle's fuel type (diesel, gasoline, electric, or hybrid)
Enter your vehicle's CO2 emissions (in grams per kilometer)
Click "Calculate" to see your estimated annual car tax

The calculator uses the official Dutch car tax formula to provide an accurate estimate. Keep in mind that this is an estimate and your actual tax may vary based on your specific circumstances.

Formula Used

The Dutch car tax is calculated using the following formula:

Auto Belasting = (Vehicle Value × Tax Rate) + (CO2 Emissions × CO2 Tax Rate)

Where:

Vehicle Value - The list price of your vehicle
Tax Rate - Based on vehicle value brackets (varies by fuel type)
CO2 Emissions - In grams per kilometer
CO2 Tax Rate - Based on emissions brackets

The tax rates are determined by the Dutch government and may change annually. This calculator uses the most recent rates available.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the car tax for a €35,000 gasoline vehicle with 150g/km CO2 emissions:

Vehicle value: €35,000
Fuel type: Gasoline
CO2 emissions: 150g/km

Using the formula:

Tax Rate for €35,000 gasoline vehicle: 22.5%

CO2 Tax Rate for 150g/km: €0.15 per gram

Auto Belasting = (35,000 × 0.225) + (150 × 0.15) = €7,875 + €22.50 = €7,897.50

This means the annual car tax for this vehicle would be approximately €7,897.50.

CO2 Emissions Comparison

Here's a comparison of typical CO2 emissions for different vehicle types:

Fuel Type	Average CO2 Emissions (g/km)	Tax Impact
Diesel	120-180	Higher CO2 tax
Gasoline	130-190	Moderate CO2 tax
Hybrid	80-120	Lower CO2 tax
Electric	0-50	No CO2 tax

Electric vehicles have the lowest CO2 emissions and therefore the lowest tax impact, while diesel vehicles typically have higher emissions and thus higher CO2-related taxes.
