About this tool

This tool loads schedules for Connecticut, Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, and Oregon. Each sourced bracket table loaded here is verified against the agency's published schedule: pick a state and weight bracket, enter your taxable miles, and the estimate renders with its source. Nothing on this page is ever guessed.

The programs at a glance

Each program registers you on its own credential, files on its own schedule, and publishes its own bracket table. The cards below carry the sourced program facts; the full state-by-state reference, including jurisdictions without a recorded program, lives on the weight-distance tax states comparison.

The rest of the tax stack

A truck that owes a mileage tax in one of these states almost always owes the rest of the stack too. Quarterly fuel tax runs through the IFTA calculator with rates from the IFTA tax rates browser. Add apportioned plates via IRP registration, the annual UCR fee, and the federal highway use tax on Form 2290 to see the true cost of the lane.

File it in your program state

The calculator prices the miles; these walkthroughs cover enrollment and the actual mileage return in each program state this site covers.

Frequently asked questions

Which states does this calculator cover?

Connecticut, Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, and Oregon. These are the state programs currently loaded in this tool. Its coverage is not a complete list of truck mileage taxes or fees. Check the agency requirements for each state on your route before filing.

Which states can the tool total today?

The sourced bracket tables for Connecticut, Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, and Oregon are loaded in the rate store, each verified against the agency's published schedule, and every estimate cites the bracket rate it used.

How does the estimate work?

For a flat per-mile bracket, the tool multiplies the stored rate by your taxable miles. New York’s per-ton brackets first add the stored base rate and an excess-weight charge, rounding each excess ton up. Those brackets require the applicable vehicle weight in whole pounds; without it, the tool refuses to estimate. Check the cited filing instructions for exemptions, credits, and return rounding.

Is a weight-distance tax part of my IFTA return?

No. IFTA settles per-gallon fuel tax between member jurisdictions in one quarterly return. A weight-distance tax is a separate per-mile tax with its own account, return, and deadlines in each of these states, and Oregon uses its Weight-Mile Tax in place of a fuel tax on heavy trucks.
