NH Auto Registration Fee Calculation

The base registration fee is calculated as:

Base Fee = Vehicle Weight (lbs) × 0.05

Then add the vehicle type fee:

Vehicle Type	Additional Fee
Passenger Car	$25
Motorcycle	$15
Truck	$50
Van	$35
Other	$40

For 2-year registration, multiply the total by 1.8.

Final Fee = (Base Fee + Vehicle Type Fee) × Registration Multiplier

Worked Examples

Example 1: Passenger Car Registration

For a 3,000 lb passenger car registered for 1 year:

Base Fee = 3,000 × 0.05 = $150

Vehicle Type Fee = $25

Total Fee = $150 + $25 = $175

Example 2: Truck Registration

For a 6,000 lb truck registered for 2 years:

Base Fee = 6,000 × 0.05 = $300

Vehicle Type Fee = $50

Subtotal = $300 + $50 = $350

2-Year Multiplier = 1.8

Total Fee = $350 × 1.8 = $630
