The basic rules for determining the toll rate are laid down by Act No. 474/2013 Coll. on the collection of toll for the use of designated sections of roads, as amended. The specific method of calculating toll, the amount of toll rates, the method of determining the vehicle's emission class and the system of discounts on toll rates are laid down by Government Regulation No. 418/2024 Coll. of the Slovak Republic, as amended.
Toll rates
Under the above-mentioned Toll Collection Act, the toll rate is determined per 1 km of a designated road section. The specific toll rates under the above-mentioned Government Regulation are set in euros per kilometre of distance travelled on the designated road section, excluding value added tax (VAT).
When determining the toll rate, the type of designated road section and the vehicle's parameters are taken into account, in particular the maximum permissible total weight of the vehicle, the vehicle type, the CO₂ emission class, the EURO emission class, and, for vehicles with a maximum permissible total weight of 12,000 kg or more not intended for the transport of persons, also the number of axles.
The specific rules for determining the toll rate differ depending on the maximum permissible total weight of the vehicle and on whether it is a vehicle intended for the transport of persons or a vehicle not intended for the transport of persons:
- for vehicles with a maximum permissible total weight of 3,500 kg to 12,000 kg, the toll rate is determined according to the CO₂ emission class and the EURO emission class, uniformly for any number of axles,
- for vehicles with a maximum permissible total weight of 12,000 kg or more that are intended for the transport of persons and allow the transport of more than nine persons, including the driver, the toll rate is determined according to the CO₂ emission class and the EURO emission class, uniformly for any number of axles,
- for vehicles with a maximum permissible total weight of 12,000 kg or more not intended for the transport of persons, the toll rate is determined according to the CO₂ emission class, the EURO emission class and the number of axles.
The final toll amount depends on the relevant toll rate and the distance travelled on designated road sections. Under the applicable Government Regulation of the Slovak Republic, toll rates are laid down separately for the use of:
- designated motorway sections,
- designated class I road sections running parallel to motorways,
- designated class I road sections not running parallel to motorways,
- designated sections of other class I roads,
- designated class II and class III road sections.
Note: The Government Regulation also contains toll rates for the use of designated class III road sections with a toll rate of EUR 0/km; however, class III roads are not currently part of the network of designated road sections of the Slovak Republic.
An overview of the toll rates applicable from 1 July 2025 by individual types of designated road sections is provided in the following tables.

Multi-component toll and CO₂ emission class
From 1 July 2025, the calculation of toll rates is subject to rules arising from European legal regulation of charges for the use of road infrastructure by vehicles, in particular Directive 1999/62/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, as amended by Directive (EU) 2022/362 of the European Parliament and of the Council. These rules have been transposed into national legislation and into the functioning of the electronic toll system through the above-mentioned Toll Collection Act and the Government Regulation of the Slovak Republic.
Under this legal regulation, the toll rate is made up of the sum of three components:
- an infrastructure charge,
- a charge for external costs associated with CO₂ emissions caused by traffic,
- a charge for external costs associated with air pollution caused by traffic.
When calculating the toll rate under Annex No. 4 to the Government Regulation, the unit costs of the charged infrastructure are taken as a basis, in particular investment costs, costs of structural repairs and maintenance, as well as costs of construction, operation, management and toll collection. External cost charges apply separately to external costs associated with CO₂ emissions caused by traffic and to external costs associated with air pollution caused by traffic.
The CO₂ emission class and the EURO emission class are among the parameters according to which the toll rate is determined. For vehicles with a maximum permissible total weight of 12,000 kg or more not intended for the transport of persons, the number of axles is also included in determining the toll rate.
The following rules apply, in particular, when determining the CO₂ emission class and the EURO emission class:
- For a vehicle with an exclusively electric drive or an exclusively hydrogen drive, CO₂ emission class 5 is determined.
- For a vehicle without an exclusively electric drive or without an exclusively hydrogen drive, belonging to the relevant vehicle subgroup and first registered after 30 June 2019, CO₂ emission class 1, 2, 3 or 4 is determined in accordance with Annex No. 1 to the Government Regulation, depending on the vehicle's subgroup, its specific CO₂ emissions and the date of its first registration. The determination of CO₂ emission class 2 and CO₂ emission class 3 is reassessed every six years from the date of the vehicle's first registration.
- For a vehicle not covered by the preceding cases, or for which it is not possible to determine the CO₂ emission class from the data stated in the vehicle documents, CO₂ emission class 1 is determined. Until the document required to determine a different CO₂ emission class is submitted, CO₂ emission class 1 is determined for the vehicle. The difference in toll calculated according to CO₂ emission class 1 and according to the newly determined class is not refunded to the vehicle operator.
- If the EURO emission class is not stated in the vehicle documents, EURO emission class 0 is used for calculating toll.
An indicative check of a vehicle's CO₂ emission class can be carried out using the tool on the page CO₂ emission class finder. Information on the documents submitted when registering a vehicle is provided on the page Vehicle registration and required documents. Information on the procedure for applying for a change of CO₂ emission class during the term of the contractual relationship is provided on the page Contracts and contractual relationships.
Discounts on toll rates
The Toll Collection Act allows a discount to be applied to the toll rate for the infrastructure charge on the basis of a discount system. The specific conditions for applying the discount are regulated by the above-mentioned Government Regulation.
A vehicle operator may apply a discount on the toll rate by providing the Toll Collection Administrator or the provider of the European Electronic Toll Service with the data necessary to calculate the discount. The vehicle operator is obliged to promptly report any change to the data provided.
The discount is granted for a vehicle with a maximum permissible total weight exceeding 3,500 kg that is not intended for the transport of more than nine persons, including the driver. It is granted for kilometres driven on designated motorway and class I road sections above the limits set out in Annex No. 8 to the Government Regulation during the calendar year.
The following rules apply when granting a discount on the toll rate:
- for the purposes of granting the discount, the number of kilometres driven before applying the discount on the toll rate is not added up,
- for the purposes of granting the discount, the number of kilometres driven during the calendar year with the main toll services provider and one or more providers of the European Electronic Toll Service, or exclusively with several providers of the European Electronic Toll Service, is also not added up,
- kilometres driven on designated class I, class II and class III road sections charged at a zero toll rate are not included in the number of kilometres driven.
Once the conditions for granting the discount are met, the discount from the current amount of the toll rate is applied in the electronic toll system continuously during the calendar year.
The following table provides an overview of the percentage discounts on toll rates applicable from 1 July 2025, according to the limits of kilometres driven during the calendar year.
Discounts on toll rates effective from 1 July 2025
| Limit for kilometres driven during a calendar year | Percentage discounts on toll rates for individual vehicle categories | |
|---|---|---|
| Trucks up to 12,000 kg | Trucks 12,000 kg and more | |
| Over 5,000 km | 8 % | – |
| Over 10,000 km | 9 % | 8 % |
| Over 20,000 km | 10 % | 9 % |
| Over 30,000 km | 11 % | 10 % |
| Over 50,000 km | 12 % | 11 % |
