The 'out-the-door' price is everything it costs to drive off the lot — selling price, sales tax, title, registration, and dealer doc fee. Use this tool to nail down the real number before you commit.
Dealers often advertise a vehicle at one price, then pile on fees that can add $2,000–$5,000 to the deal. Always negotiate in out-the-door terms so you know what you're actually paying. Ask for a worksheet, and compare it against this calculator.
The selling price is just the vehicle. OTD adds sales tax (often 4–10%), state title and registration, and the dealer documentation fee — which can range from $75 to $800+ depending on state.
Usually no — many states regulate or cap it. Instead, negotiate the selling price down by the doc-fee amount.
Most states tax the net after trade-in credit. Enter your trade-in value below and the calculator handles it.
