How to use the toll gate fees calculator south africa
Obtain the charges for the exact plazas and vehicle class from the operator. Enter them separated by commas. Select one way or return on the same road. Enter people sharing and the date of the tariff. Vehicle class is a label for your quoted charges; it does not change them automatically.
What the result includes
Only the entered charges. Different vehicle classes, ramps and shorter routes have different charges. Do not multiply a toll total that already includes return. The default N3 set is a dated illustration and is not a route finder.
Where to check tariffs
Use the official SANRAL schedule or the relevant concessionaire. Tariffs were adjusted effective 1 March 2026. Check for later changes before travelling; the calculator does not download tariffs automatically.
