Calculate the Dutch truck charge for your route
How much Dutch truck charge (vrachtwagenheffing) a trip costs depends on two things: the rate for your truck and the number of kilometres of your route on the charged road network. Tolmijden calculates both for you, per road section and per leg.
In three steps
- Enter your number plate. Tolmijden retrieves the weight, the CO2 emission class and the Euro class from the RDW. Without a number plate you choose the CO2 class and the drive type yourself.
- Plan your route. Departure address, destination and any intermediate stops. With My location you start where you are now.
- Read the result. You see the total distance, the driving time, the number of kilometres on the charged road network and the amount of Dutch truck charge.
How Tolmijden calculates
Each road section of the route is compared with the national charged road network. Only the kilometres on that network count. They are multiplied by the statutory rate for your class, in the period of the trip. Between 01-09-2026 and 31-12-2026 you switch the temporary discount of 22.3% on or off with a single switch.
If a value is missing at the RDW, Tolmijden calculates as the law prescribes: CO2 class 1, Euro 0 and a weight of 32,000 kg and over. This is then also shown with the result.
Example
| Period | Per km | 100 km on the charged network |
|---|---|---|
| 01-07-2026 to 31-08-2026 | € 0.201 | € 20.10 |
| 01-09-2026 to 31-12-2026 | € 0.156 | € 15.60 |
| from 01-01-2027 | € 0.206 | € 20.60 |
If the same tractor unit drives 60 km of an 80 km trip on the charged road network, you only pay for those 60 km.
More than the charge
With Avoid road charges smartly, Tolmijden compares the fastest route with routes using less motorway, and weighs the saving on the charge against the extra driving time and fuel. See avoid the Dutch truck charge and transport costs per trip.
Frequently asked questions
Does Tolmijden use the real data of my truck?
Yes, with the number plate Tolmijden takes the data from the RDW open data: weight, CO2 emission class and Euro class.
Does a trailer or semi-trailer count?
Not separately. The weight that counts is the maximum mass the truck is allowed to tow, not what is actually behind it. See trailer and semi-trailer.
Are the amounts including VAT?
No, all amounts are excluding VAT.
Is the result binding?
No, it is an indication. What you pay is shown on the invoice from your on-board unit (toll box) provider.
