How this is calculated

The calculator above is pre-labeled with the 5 named fees New Jersey typically charges: Annual registration fee (weight + age tiered); Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) annual fee; Title fee (one-time); Tire fee; Plate fee. New Jersey's annual registration fee is tiered by vehicle weight and age — newer, heavier vehicles pay more. Zero emission vehicles pay an additional annual fee that escalates each year through 2028. A small tire fee applies per axle at titling.

Heavier vehicles, newer vehicles, higher-value vehicles, and electric / plug-in hybrids will see different amounts in most categories — override the rows for your specific case.

Source for current amounts: New Jersey MVC. Verify on the official agency page before paying — dollar amounts vary by county, weight class, vehicle age, and powertrain.
