Introduction
All vehicles in Malaysia are required to pay annual roadtax. However, roadtax rates vary depending on engine capacity and state of registration. This guide explains the standard rates, provides example calculations for popular cars, and shows how to quickly check using BJAK Calculator, helping you plan your annual budget accurately.
Roadtax Based on Engine Capacity
Roadtax in Malaysia is determined by engine capacity (cc) — the bigger the engine, the higher the tax.
Estimated standard rates for private cars in Peninsular Malaysia:
| Engine Capacity | Annual Roadtax (RM) |
| ≤ 1,000 cc | 20–50 |
| 1,001 – 1,200 cc | 70–90 |
| 1,201 – 1,500 cc | 100–150 |
| 1,501 – 1,800 cc | 180–250 |
| 1,801 – 2,000 cc | 250–300 |
| 2,001 – 2,500 cc | 300–400 |
| > 2,500 cc | 400–700 |
Example Calculations
- Perodua Myvi 1.5L → Roadtax: RM90
- Honda Civic 1.8L → Roadtax: RM250
- Toyota Fortuner 2.7L → Roadtax: RM400
Combine these with insurance premium and NCD to estimate the total annual cost. BJAK Calculator can display both premium + roadtax in one view to avoid calculation errors.
