How registration in Canada is calculated

Canada has no CO2 car tax; the annual cost is a provincial registration renewal fee. Southern Ontario eliminated it, Quebec charges 400+ CAD via the SAAQ, BC bundles it with ICBC insurance, and Alberta charges around 93 CAD.

Pick your province from the dropdown for the annual figure, or enter a fee directly — British Columbia bundles it into the ICBC insurance premium, so there is no separate figure to quote there. Estimate, not advice.
