How this calculator works
2290 tax = the IRS table amount for your weight category and first-use month × number of vehicles.
Any highway vehicle with a taxable gross weight of 55,000 lb or more owes the tax. Taxable gross weight is the empty weight of the truck, plus the empty weight of the trailers you usually pull, plus the heaviest load you usually carry.
If the truck is on the road in July, you pay the full-year amount below. If it's first used later in the period, you pay a smaller amount from the IRS partial-period tables. This calculator reads those tables directly instead of estimating them.
A truck you expect to drive 5,000 miles or less on public highways during the period (7,500 miles for agricultural vehicles) is suspended. It's reported as category W with no tax due, but you still file.
File and pay by the last day of the month after the month of first use. If that date lands on a weekend or legal holiday, file on the next business day. The deadline doesn't move with your plate renewal date.
