Toll Calculator India: Check Toll Charges Between Cities

How the Toll Calculator Works

Enter a starting point and a destination anywhere in India and choose your vehicle. The calculator plans the road route between the two places, lists every toll plaza you will cross in order, and shows the fee at each plaza for a single journey and a return journey within 24 hours, along with the total toll, the fee without FASTag, the distance, the travel time and an estimated trip cost.

Where the toll fees come from

Fees are taken from the list published by NHAI for each plaza, for cars, jeeps and vans, light commercial vehicles, buses and trucks, and multi-axle vehicles. Fees are revised every April. A few state or local plazas are not in the NHAI list; for those, the calculator estimates a car fee of ₹80 to ₹170 and shows the total as a range.

Paying without FASTag

Since 10 April 2026, national highway plazas no longer accept cash. A vehicle without a valid FASTag must pay 1.25 times the fee through UPI, so the calculator shows that amount separately.

Number of toll plazas

Plaza locations come from OpenStreetMap. A newly opened plaza may occasionally be missing, and some state or local toll barriers may be included.

FASTag Rules That Decide What You Pay in 2026

FASTag is the standard way to pay at every national highway toll plaza. The tag is read as you pass, and the fee is deducted from the linked bank account or wallet. Since 10 April 2026, national highway plazas do not accept cash. A vehicle that arrives without a working FASTag can still cross by paying through UPI, but it is charged 1.25 times the normal fee. A car that would pay ₹100 with FASTag therefore pays ₹125 by UPI. A tag that is blacklisted, unlinked or short of balance is treated as no FASTag, so keep a balance comfortably above the expected toll before a long trip.

Owners of private cars, jeeps and vans can buy the FASTag Annual Pass through the Rajmargyatra app. For the 2026–27 financial year it costs ₹3,075 and covers 200 plaza crossings or one year, whichever comes first. The pass works only at plazas run on national highways and national expressways. State highways, municipal toll points and some privately run expressways continue to charge the regular fee. Residents who live within 20 km of a plaza and use it often can also apply for a discounted monthly pass at that plaza; where NHAI publishes the monthly amount, the calculator shows it under the plaza’s fee table.

Toll rates are revised on 1 April every year in line with inflation, so a fee quoted for March may rise slightly the following month.

Vehicle Classes Used at Toll Plazas

NHAI charges by vehicle class rather than by vehicle model. The calculator uses the same six classes found on plaza fee boards:

• Car, jeep or van: private and taxi cars, SUVs, MUVs and light passenger vans.
• Light commercial vehicle (LCV): light goods vehicles, pick-ups and mini buses, usually charged about 1.6 times the car fee.
• Bus or two-axle truck: full-size buses and standard trucks, usually around 3.4 times the car fee.
• Three-axle vehicle: three-axle commercial trucks.
• Four- to six-axle vehicle: heavy multi-axle trucks and heavy construction machinery.
• Seven or more axles: oversized and over-dimensional cargo vehicles.

Two-wheelers and three-wheelers do not pay at NHAI plazas. Overloaded commercial vehicles are charged a multiple of the normal fee at weigh-in-motion plazas, which the calculator does not include.

How the Estimate Is Worked Out

Each result is built in five steps:

1. Routes: the calculator requests road routes from OpenRouteService – the fastest route, the shortest route and a route that avoids toll roads, plus alternative routes for shorter trips. Routes that are practically the same are merged, and up to four are shown.
2. Plazas on the route: every route line is compared with toll plaza locations mapped on OpenStreetMap. A plaza that sits within about 75 metres of the road is counted, and booths on opposite carriageways are treated as one plaza. Forest, police and sales-tax check posts are excluded.
3. Fees: each plaza is matched to its entry in the NHAI fee list, which gives the single-journey fee, the return fee within 24 hours and, for cars, the monthly pass amount.
4. Plazas without a published fee: state and local plazas are estimated at ₹80 to ₹170 for a car and scaled for larger vehicles, which is why some totals appear as a range. Where a route uses a toll road but no plaza is mapped, the estimate is based on the length of the tolled section.
5. Trip extras: for cars, the summary adds an approximate fuel cost at 15 km per litre and ₹100 per litre, so you can see the combined cost of the drive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the toll amount exact?

For plazas in the NHAI fee list, the calculator shows the published fee. For plazas not in that list, it shows an estimate. Fees are revised every April, so check the NHAI toll information site or the fee board at the plaza for the latest amount.

Does it cover a return trip?

Yes. The calculator shows the return fee for each plaza, which applies when you come back through the same plaza within 24 hours. If you return on a later day, each crossing is charged at the single-journey fee.

Which vehicles does it cover?

Cars, jeeps and vans, light commercial vehicles, buses and two-axle trucks, three-axle vehicles, four- to six-axle vehicles and vehicles with seven or more axles. Choose your vehicle above the results. Two-wheelers do not pay tolls at NHAI plazas.

What is the FASTag Annual Pass?

Private cars, jeeps and vans can buy a FASTag Annual Pass for ₹3,075, valid for one year or 200 plaza crossings, whichever comes first. With the pass, no fee is charged at eligible national highway and expressway plazas.

Can I work out the fuel cost too?

Yes. Use our Fuel Cost Calculator to estimate petrol, diesel or CNG cost for the same trip, including a return journey and cost per person.

Can I check any route in India?

Yes. You can search any city, town, village, district or state in India. For detailed route advice and local tips, see our travel route guides.
