Formula Used
Texas Auto TTL Formula
The Texas Title Transfer Tax (TTL) is calculated based on the vehicle's value and the type of transfer. The formula used is:
TTL = Vehicle Value × Tax Rate
The tax rate varies depending on the type of transfer:
- Private Sale: 0.01% of the vehicle's value
- Dealer Sale: 0.02% of the vehicle's value
- Lease or Loan: 0.015% of the vehicle's value
The calculator applies the appropriate tax rate based on the selected transfer type and then calculates the TTL by multiplying the vehicle's value by the tax rate.

For a vehicle sold privately with a value of $25,000:
TTL = $25,000 × 0.01% = $25
The estimated Title Transfer Tax for this private sale is $25.
Example 2: Dealer Sale
For a vehicle sold by a dealer with a value of $35,000:
TTL = $35,000 × 0.02% = $70

Example 3: Lease or Loan
For a vehicle leased or loaned with a value of $40,000:
TTL = $40,000 × 0.015% = $60
