Pennsylvania Toll Calculator

What Is the Pennsylvania Toll Calculator?

The Pennsylvania Toll Calculator is an online tool that estimates how much you’ll pay when using the PA Turnpike. It factors in:

• Start and end points – entry and exit locations along the toll road
• Vehicle type – car, motorcycle, SUV, pickup, RV, or commercial truck
• Payment method – E-ZPass (discounted rate) or Toll By Plate (higher rate)
• Trip type – one-way or round trip

Once you enter these details, the calculator provides:

• Mileage covered on the PA Turnpike
• Exact toll amounts at each interchange
• Estimated savings with E-ZPass vs. Toll By Plate
• Total cost for your trip

How the PA Toll System Works

Pennsylvania uses all-electronic tolling, meaning there are no cash booths. Drivers pay in one of two ways:

1. E-ZPass
   • Cheapest option (up to 60% savings)
   • Works across 19 states in the E-ZPass network
   • Tolls deducted automatically as you drive
2. Toll By Plate
   • Cameras capture your license plate
   • Bill mailed to the vehicle owner
   • More expensive than E-ZPass, plus service fees may apply

Example Trip Using the Pennsylvania Toll Calculator

Let’s say you’re traveling:

• Route: From Ohio Turnpike (west border) to New Jersey border (east side of PA)
• Distance: About 360 miles
• Vehicle: Passenger car

Estimated tolls:

• E-ZPass: Around $55 – $60
• Toll By Plate: Around $110 – $120

That’s nearly double the cost if you don’t use E-ZPass.

• Compare payment options – See exactly how much you save with E-ZPass.
• Helpful for trucking and delivery companies – Calculate expenses for multiple routes.
