German vehicle tax by engine size & CO₂. Petrol, diesel, electric
This calculator works out your annual German vehicle tax (Kfz-Steuer) based on engine displacement, fuel type (petrol, diesel, or electric), and CO₂ emissions. Petrol and diesel vehicles are taxed per 100 cc of engine size plus a CO₂-based component, while electric vehicles currently enjoy a full exemption.

It depends on engine size, fuel and CO₂ emissions: for cars first registered from July 2009 you pay €2 (petrol) or €9.50 (diesel) per started 100 cc plus a CO₂ charge for each g/km above the tax-free allowance (95 g/km since 2014), rounded down to full euros. A petrol car with 1,600 cc and 130 g/km first registered in 2021 costs €105 a year, the same car as a diesel €225.
