Estimate based on the standard IRS Form 2290 Category A–V annual tax table (Tax Table I) and the standard month-based proration for vehicles first used after July. Suspended (low-mileage) vehicles, credits for sold or destroyed trucks, and exact IRS rounding rules are not reflected here. Confirm the current-year table before filing. This is a planning estimate, not a filed return or tax advice.

How the tax works

HVUT is based on weight, not mileage

The Heavy Vehicle Use Tax runs on a fixed annual schedule from $100 at the 55,000-lb minimum up to $550 for vehicles over 75,000 lbs, in $22 increments per 1,000 lbs. If your truck goes into service after July, the tax is prorated for the months remaining in the tax period, which runs July 1 through June 30.

We e-file Form 2290 every day and return a stamped Schedule 1 fast, with VIN corrections handled at no extra charge. See our Form 2290 filing service or read the step-by-step guide to avoiding rejections.
