Non-binding estimate under § 9 (1) No. 2b KraftStG. Not legal advice.

How the calculation works

Motorcycles are taxed purely by engine displacement, with no CO₂ component: €1.84 per started 25 cc, regardless of the year of manufacture or emissions (§ 9 (1) No. 2b KraftStG).

Mopeds up to 50 cc with an insurance registration plate (Versicherungskennzeichen) are exempt from vehicle tax, since the cost is bundled into the third-party insurance premium instead.

This calculator provides a non-binding estimate based on current KraftStG rates. The legally binding tax amount is set by your local Hauptzollamt.
