Calculator Auto Impozit

Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

Auto impozit, or vehicle tax in Romania, is calculated based on the engine size and fuel type of your car. This calculator helps you determine your annual vehicle tax obligation quickly and accurately.

How to Calculate Auto Impozit

The auto impozit is calculated using the following formula:

Auto Impozit = Engine Size (cm³) × Tax Rate

The tax rate depends on the engine size and fuel type:

  • Petrol: Different rates for different engine size ranges
  • Diesel: Different rates for different engine size ranges
  • Electric: Special rates for electric vehicles

To calculate your auto impozit:

  1. Determine your vehicle's engine size in cubic centimeters (cm³)
  2. Identify your vehicle's fuel type (petrol, diesel, or electric)
  3. Find the applicable tax rate based on your engine size and fuel type
  4. Multiply the engine size by the tax rate to get your annual auto impozit

Note: The actual tax rates can change annually. Always verify the current rates with the Romanian Ministry of Finance or your local tax office.

Factors Affecting Vehicle Tax

Several factors influence the amount of auto impozit you pay:

Engine Size

The larger your engine, the higher the tax rate. Engine sizes are typically categorized into ranges like:

  • Up to 1,000 cm³
  • 1,001-1,600 cm³
  • 1,601-2,000 cm³
  • 2,001-3,000 cm³
  • Over 3,000 cm³

Fuel Type

Different fuel types have different tax rates:

  • Petrol vehicles generally have higher tax rates than diesel
  • Diesel vehicles have lower tax rates than petrol
  • Electric vehicles have special tax rates

Vehicle Age

Older vehicles may qualify for reduced tax rates under certain conditions.

Special Categories

Some vehicles fall into special categories with different tax treatments, such as:

  • Electric vehicles
  • Hybrid vehicles
  • Vehicles with alternative fuels

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the auto impozit for a petrol vehicle with an engine size of 1,800 cm³.

Auto Impozit = 1,800 cm³ × 0.25 (tax rate for petrol 1,601-2,000 cm³)

Auto Impozit = 450 RON

In this example, the annual auto impozit for this petrol vehicle would be 450 RON.
