Oklahoma Car Registration Fee Calculator

Why Use a Car Registration Fee Calculator?

Oklahoma’s registration system is not one-size-fits-all. Fees depend on:

• Vehicle purchase price (used to calculate excise tax)
• Vehicle condition (new vs. used)
• Vehicle age (sets the base registration fee)
• Powertrain type (gas, hybrid, or electric)
• Optional one-time fees like title, lien, or mailing charges

By entering a few details, you’ll see a clear breakdown of one-time and recurring costs. Instead of guessing or being surprised at the DMV counter, you’ll know exactly what to expect.

How the Calculator Works

The Oklahoma DMV Fee Calculator is designed to be user-friendly. Here’s how it calculates fees step by step:

1. Excise Tax

• New vehicles: 3.25% of the purchase price.
• Used vehicles: $20 + 3.25% of the purchase price above $1,500.

Example:

• A new car worth $32,000 = $1,040 excise tax.
• A used car worth $10,000 = $20 + (10,000 – 1,500) × 3.25% = $336.25 excise tax.

2. Annual Registration Fee (based on vehicle age)

• 1st–4th year: $96
• 5th–8th year: $86
• 9th–12th year: $66
• 13th–16th year: $46
• 17+ years: $26

3. Powertrain Surcharge

• Gasoline/Diesel: $0
• Plug-in Hybrid: $82
• Electric Vehicle (EV): $110

4. Optional One-Time Fees

• Title Fee: $11
• Lien Fee: $10
• Mail Fee: $5

The calculator adds everything together and gives you:

• Total one-time costs at purchase
• Total annual costs for registration
• Grand total estimate for the first year
