How to calculate tolls
With the popularity of expressways, the calculation of tolls has become the focus of car owners. This article will combine the hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days to provide a detailed analysis of the composition, calculation methods and charging standards of tolls in different regions to help you better plan your travel costs.
1. The composition of tolls
Tolls mainly consist of the following parts:
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| base toll | Base cost calculated based on vehicle type and mileage. |
| Bridge/tunnel surcharge | Additional fees are charged when passing through special road sections (such as bridges and tunnels). |
| Holiday deals | Tolls may be waived or reduced during some holidays. |
| ETC discount | Users who pay with ETC can enjoy a certain percentage of discounts. |
2. Calculation method of tolls
The calculation of tolls is usually based on the following formula:
Total cost = base toll × mileage + surcharge - discount amount
The following are the basic toll standards for different vehicle types (taking a certain province as an example):
| car model | Charge standard (yuan/km) |
|---|---|
| Category 1 vehicles (7 seats and below) | 0.5 |
| Category II vehicles (8-19 seats) | 1.0 |
| Category III vehicles (20-39 seats) | 1.5 |
