Your vehicle's tax and value, canton by canton.
MotorTax compares the road tax across all 26 Swiss cantons and estimates the real market value of your car, motorcycle or boat on the used market. Free, no account, no intrusive ads.
Everything you need to decide, pay fairly and not forget anything.
Five complementary tools in a single app. Built for private individuals, calibrated on the Swiss market, available in the four national languages and in English.
The real cost of your plates, before you commit.
Pick your vehicle from the catalogue or enter it manually, choose the cantons that matter to you, and MotorTax applies the official rates published by the cantonal road traffic offices. In seconds you get a clear ranking, a price map per canton, and the best price highlighted.
- Cars, motorcycles, boats and trailers supported
- Per-canton ranking with the best price identified
- Official rates refreshed at every cantonal change
What your vehicle is worth. Today, and tomorrow.
The estimate is based on thousands of real listings from the Swiss used market, cross-checked and recalibrated every quarter. You provide year, mileage and engine; MotorTax produces a current value and projects it at 2, 5 and 10 years. A polished PDF report can be exported in one gesture — useful for resale, insurance or sharing with a buyer.
- Calibrated on the real Swiss market, refreshed quarterly
- Year, mileage, engine and condition taken into account
- PDF report ready to share, in all four languages
All your vehicles, their value and annual cost.
The garage brings cars, motorcycles and boats together in a single view. One swipe switches between estimated fleet value and total annual taxes. The numbers update over time and as the market moves — without any action on your side.
- Fleet value kept up to date automatically
- Annual tax total at a glance
- Cars, motorcycles and boats in the same view
Never miss an inspection again.
MotorTax computes the next inspection window using your canton's rules and adds it to the built-in calendar. You see month by month what is coming — car, motorcycle, boat, trailer — and the app reminds you before each deadline. The official notice still has the final say; but the nasty surprise is gone.
- Inspection windows calculated per canton
- Month-by-month view, multi-vehicle
- Reminders before every deadline
Understand Swiss car taxation, and make informed choices.
The MotorTax magazine tracks the Swiss market — cantonal taxation, electric cars, low-mileage youngsters, vehicles over 30 years old — with short, sourced articles tailored to your profile. The goal is simple: help you buy smarter, maintain wisely and understand what is happening on the plates.
- Articles targeted by vehicle type
- Tax explainers and rate changes
- Favourites and reading history
Three steps, a few seconds.
No account to create, no endless form. The app does the heavy lifting from a few details about your vehicle.
Pick your vehicle
Choose it from the catalogue — up-to-date brands, models and engines for cars, motorcycles, boats and trailers. Enter it manually if you have a rare or older vehicle.
Select your cantons
Tick one canton, several, or all 26. MotorTax applies the official rates published by the cantonal road traffic offices and accounts for local specifics.
Read the result
A clear ranking by canton, a price map, the best price highlighted. If you want the estimated value, it is one tab away — with a 2, 5 and 10 year projection.
Serious numbers, a transparent method.
Tax: official rates
Tax calculations are based on the official rates published by the cantonal road traffic offices. Every announced change — new rate, new formula, new rebate — leads to a prompt update of the MotorTax formulas.
Value: the real Swiss market
Value estimates are calibrated on the Swiss used market using thousands of listings, cross-checked and recalibrated every quarter. The method considers year, mileage, engine and condition. The projection relies on the model's historical retention.
Honest limits
The amounts shown are indicative. They replace neither your canton's official calculation, nor a professional appraisal. MotorTax is an independent app, not affiliated with cantonal administrations.
Your data stays yours.
No account by default
MotorTax works without an account. Your vehicles, simulations and reports are stored on your device. Nothing is shared without your explicit consent.
Optional sync
If you choose to sign in — with your Apple or Google account — it is only to sync your garage across devices. Sign-in remains optional. You can delete your account and all related data at any time, from the app or via motortax.ch/suppression-compte.
Swiss FADP and EU GDPR
MotorTax complies with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection and the EU General Data Protection Regulation. No data resale, no ad profiling, no intrusive ads.
