Saloon = sedan, hatchback, coupé, wagon, convertible. Non-saloon = SUV, MPV, pick-up, van.

From 1 January 2026, EV road tax is based on motor power output (kW) and is uniform nationwide — region, vehicle class and ownership do not change it. Figures are estimates; confirm with your MyJPJ renewal quote.

Non-saloon rates are the same for private and company registration. In Sabah & Sarawak, saloon rates do not vary by ownership. 6-month renewal is roughly half the annual rate for eligible private vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on JPJ Road Tax Malaysia

How is road tax calculated in Malaysia?

For petrol and diesel cars, JPJ applies a base rate for your engine capacity bracket plus a progressive per-cc charge once you exceed 1,600cc; smaller engines pay a flat fee.

What's the difference between saloon and non-saloon road tax?

Saloon covers sedans, hatchbacks, and coupés, while non-saloon covers SUVs, MPVs, and pick-ups; JPJ’s classification, not the marketing label, determines which rate table applies.

How is EV road tax calculated in 2026?

From 1 January 2026, fully electric vehicles are taxed by motor power output in kW across JPJ’s tiered bands, replacing the blanket exemption that ended on 31 December 2025.

Why do Sabah and Sarawak pay less road tax?

East Malaysia and certain regions like Labuan and Langkawi have separate, generally lower rate structures compared to Peninsular Malaysia.

Does a company-registered car pay more road tax?

For private saloon cars in Peninsular Malaysia, company registration typically attracts a higher rate than individual ownership; this distinction doesn’t apply in Sabah and Sarawak.

What happens if my road tax expires?

Driving with expired road tax is a compoundable offence, and your insurance coverage is void for the expiry period, meaning you’d bear all costs personally in an accident.

Can I renew road tax without valid insurance?

No, you generally need a valid insurance or takaful policy in place before JPJ will process your road tax renewal.

Where do I find my car's exact engine cc?

Your Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC or geran) lists the exact registered engine capacity, which may differ from the rounded figure used in marketing.

Is this calculator accurate for my exact JPJ payment?

This tool gives a close estimate based on published JPJ rate structures; the amount confirmed by JPJ or MyJPJ at renewal is always final.

Do hybrid vehicles use the EV kW rate or the cc rate?

Hybrids are generally still taxed on engine cc under the standard petrol schedule, while the new kW-based structure applies specifically to fully electric and fuel cell vehicles.

How much is road tax for a 1,500cc car?

A private saloon at or under 1,600cc in Peninsular Malaysia pays a flat rate, which this calculator will show based on your exact cc and region.

Can I renew road tax if my vehicle has been dormant?

Yes, but a dormant vehicle typically requires a Puspakom inspection and possibly re-registration before JPJ will process renewal.
