How данък мпс in Bulgaria is calculated
Bulgarian car tax is set by the municipality and built from engine power in kilowatts. The per-kW rate rises with a power band, and an age-and-emission coefficient adjusts the total.
Newer, cleaner cars pay less through the eco coefficient; older cars pay a higher factor. Rates are illustrative and vary by municipality. Estimate, not tax advice.

Frequently asked questions
How is Bulgaria's car tax calculated?
Power in kW times a power-band rate (0.17 to 0.63 EUR/kW, redenominated from 0.34-1.23 BGN at the fixed 1.95583 rate when Bulgaria joined the euro on 1 January 2026) times an age coefficient, set by your municipality.
Do older cars pay more?
Yes — the age/eco coefficient rises for older cars, so an old high-power car pays the most.
Why does the amount vary by town?
The tax is municipal, so each town sets its own coefficients within the national framework.
