Compare rego across every state

Describe one car once and see what registration would cost in all eight states and territories, cheapest first. It uses the same fees as each state’s calculator.

You register a car in the state where it is kept, so this is not about shopping for a cheaper state. It is for working out what a move would cost, what a car bought interstate will cost to put on the road, or how your state stacks up.

Details that only matter in some states

Engine size, cc (Northern Territory)

ACT emissions category

Victoria risk zone

South Australia area

ACT: first registered before 1 December 2025 Newer cars use a different ACT fee table.

CTP insurance estimates

In New South Wales, Queensland and the ACT, CTP is bought separately from an insurer, so it is not in the rego fee. The other five states include it in their registration. Fair comparison needs a CTP price for these three, so the amounts below are examples. Replace them with your own quote, or enter 0 to leave CTP out.

NSW green slip

Example from the NSW calculator.

Queensland CTP

Insurers quoted about $391 to $406 for a private car from 1 October 2025. Prices have risen a little since.

How this is worked out

Yearly figures are 12 months of registration for a privately used car, including each state’s vehicle tax, levies and any CTP built into the fee. Weekly is the yearly figure divided by 52.
Where CTP is bought separately (NSW, Queensland, the ACT), the estimate you entered is added to the yearly figure.
“To buy” is the transfer fee plus stamp duty for a car that is already registered, paid on time. Plates, safety checks and first-registration charges are not included, so use the state calculator for those.
The NSW $100 private-use discount is applied. Hybrid duty concessions and motorcycles are not covered here. Use the state calculators for those.
Fees were checked in October 2026 and are examples, not quotes.
