What Is the Massachusetts Toll Calculator?

The Massachusetts Toll Calculator is a simple online tool that estimates toll charges for travel across the state’s highways. It lets you enter:

  • Start location – where you enter the Mass Pike or another tolled section
  • End location – where you exit
  • Vehicle type – car, motorcycle, SUV, truck, or RV
  • Payment method – E-ZPass MA, out-of-state E-ZPass, or Pay-By-Plate MA
  • Trip type – one-way or round trip

Once calculated, it gives you:

  • Total mileage traveled
  • A plaza-by-plaza cost breakdown
  • Total estimated tolls

Example: Worcester to Logan Airport (Boston)

Here’s how the calculator works with a real trip:

Distance: ~50 miles (one way)
Vehicle: Standard car or SUV

  • With E-ZPass MA: Around $3.15
  • With Out-of-State E-ZPass: Around $3.50
  • With Pay-By-Plate MA: Around $4.05

The difference may seem small, but for daily commuters, those savings add up quickly.
