Arizona determines vehicle registration fees using a value-based system rather than a flat yearly charge. The Vehicle License Tax (VLT) is calculated from 60% of the original MSRP, and this assessed value decreases each year under the state’s official depreciation schedule. Because of this structure, registration costs gradually decline as your vehicle ages.

The Arizona VLT Calculator makes it easy to estimate your annual tax in seconds. Simply enter your vehicle’s original retail price and model year, and the tool automatically applies depreciation and the correct tax rate. This removes confusion and provides a clear understanding of how your registration fee is calculated.

Whether you are renewing your registration, buying a new car, or reviewing long-term ownership expenses, the Arizona VLT Calculator helps you plan ahead with confidence. With instant and reliable estimates, Arizona drivers can better manage their yearly vehicle registration costs.
