Indiana vehicle sales tax
Indiana generally applies 7% sales/use tax to motor vehicle purchases. Dealer sales collect the tax, while private purchases pay it when applying for title. Qualifying like-kind trade-in value can reduce taxable selling price.
Title and registration
The calculator includes the $15 title application fee and $21.35 base passenger registration fee. Annual vehicle excise tax and county/municipal excise or wheel taxes are additional and remain estimated.
Worked example
A qualifying trade-in reduces the taxable selling price before Indiana’s 7% tax is calculated.
