Calculator Impozit Auto

Romanian car tax (impozit auto) is an annual tax imposed on vehicles registered in Romania. This calculator helps you estimate your car tax based on your vehicle's engine capacity and power. Understanding how car tax is calculated can help you budget for this annual expense.

How to Calculate Romanian Car Tax

Romanian car tax is calculated based on the vehicle's engine capacity and power. The formula used is:

Car Tax = (Engine Capacity × 0.05) + (Power × 0.10)

Where:

Engine Capacity is measured in cubic centimeters (cc)
Power is measured in horsepower (HP)

The result is the estimated annual car tax amount in Romanian Lei (RON). This is a simplified calculation and actual tax may vary based on additional factors.

Factors That Affect Car Tax

Several factors influence the amount of car tax you pay:

Engine capacity: Larger engines typically result in higher taxes
Vehicle power: More powerful vehicles pay more in taxes
Vehicle type: Different categories have different tax rates
Age of the vehicle: Older vehicles may qualify for reduced rates
Emissions standards: Vehicles meeting stricter environmental standards may pay less

Note

The actual car tax calculation may include additional factors not covered in this simplified calculator. For precise calculations, consult official Romanian tax authorities or a professional tax advisor.

Car Tax Brackets in Romania

Romanian car tax is typically calculated using the following brackets:

Engine Capacity (cc)	Power (HP)	Tax Rate (RON)
Up to 1,000	Up to 75	500 - 1,500
1,001 - 1,600	76 - 100	1,501 - 2,500
1,601 - 2,000	101 - 125	2,501 - 3,500
2,001 - 3,000	126 - 170	3,501 - 5,000
Over 3,000	Over 170	Over 5,000

These are approximate ranges and actual tax amounts may vary based on specific vehicle characteristics and local regulations.

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the car tax for a vehicle with:

Engine capacity: 2,000 cc
Power: 150 HP

Using the formula:

Car Tax = (2000 × 0.05) + (150 × 0.10) Car Tax = 100 + 15 Car Tax = 115 RON

This is a simplified example. The actual tax for this vehicle would likely fall in the 2,501 - 3,500 RON range based on the tax brackets table.
