Sydney and NSW tolls explained
Sydney has one of the largest tolled motorway networks in Australia. Charges vary by road: some are a fixed price, some are charged by distance, and many differ by direction, time of day and vehicle class.
Because the per-trip price depends on the exact route, this page does the part that is the same for everyone: it turns a toll you already know into a weekly and annual budget, so you can compare driving against public transport or work out whether a toll rebate could apply.
- Look up the toll for your route with Transport for NSW or your toll operator.
- Enter it above with your trips per day and days per week.
- Use the annual figure when comparing commute options or planning a budget.
