Louisiana Toll Calculator

What Is the Louisiana Toll Calculator?

The Louisiana Toll Calculator is a trip cost tool that estimates toll charges on the state’s toll roads and bridges. With it, you can enter:

• Start location – your entry city or toll point
• End location – your exit or destination
• Vehicle type – car, SUV, motorcycle, truck, or RV
• Payment method – GeauxPass, Toll Tag, or cash (where accepted)
• Round trip option – useful for commuters or return journeys

After you calculate, the tool shows:

• Total trip distance
• A breakdown of toll plazas or crossings on your route
• Cost per plaza or bridge
• The total toll cost for your trip

Example: New Orleans to the North Shore

Let’s use a real-world scenario. If you’re driving from New Orleans across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway into Mandeville:

Distance: About 24 miles one way
Vehicle: Car, SUV, or motorcycle

• With GeauxPass: Around $3.00
• Cash payment: Around $5.00

That’s a savings of about 40% each trip for drivers using GeauxPass. For daily commuters, that difference adds up quickly.

Why Use the Louisiana Toll Calculator?

1. Avoid surprises – No guessing toll rates on bridges or causeways.
2. Budget your trip – See exactly how much you’ll pay before you go.
3. Compare payment types – Find out how much cheaper GeauxPass or toll tags are compared to cash.
4. Plan round trips – Saves time if you’re making the return journey.
5. Helpful for travelers with larger vehicles – RVs and trucks pay more, and this tool calculates those costs accurately.
