Maine Toll Calculator

What Is the Maine Toll Calculator?

The Maine Toll Calculator is a trip-planning tool designed to estimate toll costs on the Maine Turnpike. It provides drivers with a clear breakdown of toll plazas, distances, and total costs depending on:

• Start location – entry point on the Maine Turnpike
• End location – exit or destination city
• Vehicle type – car, SUV, motorcycle, truck, or RV
• Payment method – E-ZPass or cash
• Trip type – one-way or round trip

Once you input this information, the calculator shows:

• Distance traveled
• Toll plazas along your route
• Cost per plaza
• Total trip toll cost

This makes it simple for commuters, truck drivers, and vacationers to budget their journey.

Example: Portland to Augusta

To see how the calculator works, let’s take a common route: Portland to Augusta.

• Distance: ~60 miles one way
• Vehicle Type: Standard car

Toll breakdown:

• With E-ZPass: About $2.40 – $3.00
• With Cash: About $4.00 – $5.00

As you can see, using an E-ZPass saves almost half the cost compared to paying cash. For frequent travelers, the savings really add up.

Here are the top reasons drivers across Maine use this tool:

1. Avoid toll surprises – Know exactly how much you’ll spend before hitting the road.

4. Helpful for truckers and RVs – Larger vehicles have different rates, and the calculator ensures accurate cost estimates.
5. Budget for round trips – Daily commuters and weekend travelers can calculate return tolls in seconds.
