Louisiana Tax, Title, and License Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

To use the Louisiana Tax, Title, and License Calculator, enter the vehicle purchase price and select the appropriate options for vehicle type, registration period, and special plate. The calculator will compute the total amount due, including sales tax and registration fees.

Formula

Example Calculation

Consider a passenger car with a purchase price of $20,000 and a sales tax rate of 4%. If the registration period is 1 year and no special plate is required, the total amount due would be calculated as follows:

• Sales Tax = $20,000 × 0.04 = $800
• Registration Fee = $20
• Total Amount Due = $20,000 + $800 + $20 = $20,820

Tips for Accurate Calculations

• Ensure the sales tax rate is entered as a percentage.
• Double-check the vehicle type and weight for trucks.
• Select the correct registration period to avoid miscalculations.

Considerations

When using this calculator, consider that registration fees may vary based on local regulations and additional fees may apply for special plates. Always verify with local authorities for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
