Introduction
Many vehicle owners in Malaysia are still confused about why roadtax rates differ even for the same engine capacity. In fact, roadtax in Malaysia depends on engine type, capacity, and registration location.This article explains how to use the MyEG roadtax calculator correctly and compares rates across states — so you know how much to pay before renewal.
1. How to Use the MyEG Roadtax Calculator
MyEG provides a dedicated calculator to check roadtax rates based on vehicle type and engine capacity.
Steps:
- Visit the MyEG website
- Select the “Road Tax Renewal” menu
- Enter your registration number and vehicle details
- The system will display an estimated roadtax rate according to category
Advantage: The calculator pulls data directly from JPJ, so vehicle details and rates shown are accurate and official.
2. No Calculator on the Official JPJ Website
JPJ does not provide an interactive calculator, only an official table of rates for all vehicle categories.
You can refer to this for manual checking before comparing with MyEG’s calculator.
3. Roadtax Rate Comparison by State
Although base rates are the same, additional charges vary between Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak.
| Location | Additional Charges | Example 1.5L Vehicle |
| Peninsular Malaysia | – | RM90 |
| Sabah | ~5–10% lower | RM80–85 |
| Sarawak | ~5–10% lower | RM80–85 |
4. Vehicle Type & Its Effect on Roadtax
| Vehicle Type | Rate & Notes |
| Petrol | Based on engine cc |
| Diesel | Higher rate (pollution & weight factor) |
| Hybrid | Same as petrol |
| EV (Electric) | Exempted until December 2025 (government incentive) |
5. Renew Roadtax After Checking Rates
After knowing the exact rate, you can renew via:
- MyEG / Pos Malaysia – with a small service fee, payment can be done online
- MyJPJ / JPJ – for digital roadtax without extra charges
If your insurance is not renewed, use BJAK to check and compare rates from over 20 insurers in one platform before renewing roadtax.
Conclusion
The MyEG roadtax calculator makes it easy to check official rates quickly without manual forms. For a complete process — check rates on MyEG, renew insurance via BJAK, and update your roadtax on MyJPJ or JPJ legally and conveniently.
