Five taxes, five tables
Besides IFTA fuel tax, five states charge heavy trucks by the mile and by weight, each with its own table, threshold and return:
- Kentucky KYU: a flat $0.0285 a mile above 59,999 lb combined licensed weight.
- New York HUT: a rate by weight bracket, laden and empty miles apart (gross weight method) or one rate by unloaded weight; above 18,000 lb gross.
- New Mexico WDT: 27 classes over 26,000 lb, up 35% on July 1, 2026; one-way haulers pay two-thirds.
- Oregon weight-mile tax: Table A to 80,000 lb, Table B by weight and axles to 105,500 lb; ten rates from July 1, 2027.
- Connecticut highway use fee: 28 bands from 26,000 lb, multi-unit vehicles only.
Sample data: the quarter above, one 80,000 lb tractor, comes to $447.10 (KYU $34.20, NY HUT $43.05, NM WDT $88.65, OR WMT $251.20, CT HUF $30.00). The 3rd quarter 2026 returns are due Saturday, October 31, 2026 in Kentucky, New York, New Mexico and Connecticut and Monday, November 30, 2026 for Oregon quarterly filers: see the due dates.
Every rate comes from the state's own page or PDF, read 2026-09-30, and is cited under each calculator. Your trucks and miles stay in this browser: nothing is uploaded. IFTA fuel tax for the same quarter: FuelTaxTally.

Frequently asked questions
- Which states have a weight-distance tax?
- Kentucky (KYU), New York (highway use tax), New Mexico (weight distance tax) and Oregon (weight-mile tax) tax trucks by weight and miles, and Connecticut has charged a highway use fee per mile since January 1, 2023. Each is filed with that state, apart from IFTA.
- Is the calculator free?
- Yes, with no limit and no sign-up. Pro is a paid extra that turns the quarter into an Excel workbook with one sheet per state and a printable summary per truck; the calculator itself does not change.
- Does this file my returns?
- No. It works out the figures so you can check them or copy them into each state's system: KYU e-file, NY Web File or Form MT-903, New Mexico's Taxpayer Access Point, Oregon Trucking Online and myconneCT.
- Do I still file if I had no miles in a state?
- Yes, if you hold that state's license, permit or account: Kentucky, New Mexico, Oregon and Connecticut say a return is due every period even with no operations there, and New York requires a return from every certificate holder even when no tax is due.
- Is my data stored anywhere?
- Only in this browser, so the page remembers your trucks. No account, no upload, and the numbers you type are not sent to analytics.
