What is the Alabama Vehicle Registration Fee Calculator?

The Alabama Vehicle Registration Fee Calculator is a web-based tool that calculates the total estimated cost for vehicle registration in Alabama. It computes fees by combining Ad Valorem property tax (based on vehicle market value and local millage rates), weight-based tag fees, fuel type surcharges for electric and hybrid vehicles, and an issuance fee. The calculator uses proration to determine tag fees based on the number of months until the owner’s renewal date, which is assigned alphabetically by last name.
