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

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
