Philippine Toll Fee Calculator

How toll fees are computed

Most Philippine expressways use a closed-system: you take a toll ticket on entry and pay based on the entry/exit plaza pair. TPLEX, NLEX (north of Bocaue), SLEX, STAR, CAVITEX, CALAX, and Skyway Stage 3 all work this way. NAIA Expressway uses an open-system (one fee for the short segment, another for the full stretch), and the NLEX-SLEX Connector is a flat-fee road (one toll for the entire 7.7-km stretch).

Rates are also tiered by vehicle class. A Class 2 fare is roughly 2× the Class 1 fare, and Class 3 is roughly 3×. The exact multiplier varies per concessionaire based on axle count and vehicle height. All fares already include the 12% VAT.

How to calculate your toll fee

1. 1
   Pick your vehicle class

   Class 1 for cars, jeeps, vans, and SUVs. Class 2 for buses and light trucks. Class 3 for heavy trucks and trailers.
2. 2
   Select your entry plaza

   Type the plaza name or expressway code (e.g. NLEX, SLEX, TPLEX) to filter the list. The plaza tag tells you which expressway it belongs to.
3. 3
   Select your exit plaza

   Pick any destination plaza — even on a different expressway. Cross-expressway trips like Manila → Baguio compute as a single fare with per-segment breakdown.
4. 4
   Read the total and segments

   The total toll fee shows in pesos, with a per-expressway breakdown so you can see what you pay on each leg and at which RFID system.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate are these toll rates?

Every fare is sourced from the official Toll Regulatory Board (TRB) toll-rate matrices via the public expressway.ph API. We re-sync weekly so any concessionaire-announced rate adjustment is reflected within seven days.

What is the difference between Class 1, 2, and 3 vehicles?

Class 1 covers cars, jeepneys, vans, AUVs, and SUVs (vehicles with 2 axles up to 7 ft tall). Class 2 covers buses and light trucks (2 axles over 7 ft, or 3+ axles under 7 ft). Class 3 covers heavy trucks — container trucks, trailer trucks, and cement mixers (3+ axles, over 7 ft tall).

Do these fees include VAT?

Yes. All TRB-published toll-rate matrices already include the 12% Value-Added Tax. The fee shown is what you actually pay at the toll plaza or what gets debited from your RFID account.

Can I calculate a trip that crosses multiple expressways?

Yes — pick any origin and any destination from the dropdowns. For Manila-Baguio (NLEX → SCTEX → TPLEX) or Manila-Tagaytay (SLEX → CALAX), the calculator returns a single total plus a per-segment breakdown showing exactly what you pay on each expressway and at which RFID system (Easytrip vs Autosweep).

Why do NLEX rates jump suddenly between certain plazas?

NLEX has both an open-system stretch (Balintawak to Bocaue, where you pay a flat fee on entry) and a closed-system stretch (Bocaue to Tarlac, where the fee depends on entry/exit). The jump you see crossing into the closed system reflects this. The same applies to SLEX (Skyway open system + SLEX closed system).

Are motorcycles included?

No. Motorcycles are not allowed on most Philippine tollways (NLEX, SLEX, TPLEX, CAVITEX, etc.) — TRB does not publish a motorcycle toll class for these.

Where do RFID discounts apply?

Currently no general RFID discount applies — Easytrip and Autosweep both charge the same TRB-published rate. Some operators run occasional promotional rebates (loaded back to your RFID account), but the cash and RFID prices at the plaza are identical.

How often is this calculator updated?

The toll-rate database is hosted on Supabase and refreshed weekly from the official TRB-published rates. The page itself uses 1-hour ISR caching for fast loads.
