Formula
How does our tool do the math? It uses a simple addition formula.
Total Due = Base Registration + County Charge + Title Fee + Plate Fee + Dealer Taxes.
The tool multiplies the base registration and county charge by two if you buy a brand new car. Used cars only pay for one standard two-year cycle.
Example
Let us calculate a used standard car in Multnomah County. This car gets 25 miles per gallon and needs new plates.
- The base registration is $136.
- The title fee is $106.
- The Multnomah county charge is $112.
- The new plates cost $26.
Total Due = $136 + $106 + $112 + $26.
Your final cost is $380! You can read more about these exact base numbers on the official Oregon DMV website.
