FAQs

Certainly! To calculate the on-road price with only the main charges, focus on the following components:

  1. Ex-Showroom Price

  2. Road Tax/Registration Charges

  3. Insurance

Calculation Example:

Let's take a car with an ex-showroom price of ₹10,00,000.

  1. Ex-Showroom Price: ₹10,00,000

  2. Road Tax/Registration Charges (Assuming 10%): ₹10,00,000 x 10% = ₹1,00,000

  3. Insurance (Assuming 5% of ex-showroom price): ₹10,00,000 x 5% = ₹50,000

Total On-Road Price = Ex-Showroom Price + Road Tax + Insurance

Total On-Road Price = 10,00,000 + 1,00,000 + 50,000 = ₹11,50,000

So, the on-road price of the car, considering only the main charges, would be ₹11,50,000.

Note:

  • The percentages for road tax and insurance can vary by state and specific car model.

  • Always check the exact percentages and costs with your car dealer or relevant authorities.


The ex-showroom price and the on-road price are two different cost components involved in purchasing a car. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the differences:

Ex-Showroom Price:

  • Definition: The ex-showroom price is the price of the car as sold by the manufacturer to the dealer, plus the dealer's margin. It includes the Goods and Services Tax (GST) but excludes other on-road costs such as insurance, registration, and additional charges.

  • Components Included:

    • Base price of the car

    • Dealer’s margin

    • Goods and Services Tax (GST) and any applicable cess

  • Exclusions:

    • Road tax/registration charges

    • Insurance

    • Handling charges

    • Any additional charges like accessories or extended warranty

On-Road Price:

  • Definition: The on-road price is the final price a buyer pays to drive the car out of the dealership. It includes the ex-showroom price plus all additional costs required to make the car road-legal and operational.

  • Components Included:

    • Ex-showroom price

    • Road tax/registration charges (varies by state)

    • Insurance (third-party and/or comprehensive)

    • Handling charges

    • Optional accessories

    • Extended warranty (optional)

    • Other miscellaneous charges (e.g., fast tag, number plates)

Key Differences:

  1. Scope:

    • Ex-Showroom Price: Limited to the car’s base cost, dealer margin, and GST.

    • On-Road Price: Comprehensive, including all costs required to legally drive the car on the road.

  2. Cost:

    • Ex-Showroom Price: Lower, as it doesn’t include additional taxes, insurance, or fees.

    • On-Road Price: Higher, as it encompasses all necessary expenses beyond the ex-showroom price.

  3. Purpose:

    • Ex-Showroom Price: Used as a reference for the base cost of the car, often used in advertisements.

    • On-Road Price: Represents the total cost of ownership at the point of purchase, reflecting the actual amount a buyer needs to pay.

Example Calculation:

For a car with an ex-showroom price of ₹10,00,000:

  • Ex-Showroom Price: ₹10,00,000

  • On-Road Price Calculation:

    • Ex-Showroom Price: ₹10,00,000

    • Road Tax (Assuming 10%): ₹1,00,000

    • Insurance (Assuming 5%): ₹50,000

    • Total On-Road Price: ₹10,00,000 + ₹1,00,000 + ₹50,000 = ₹11,50,000

In this example, the ex-showroom price is ₹10,00,000, while the on-road price is ₹11,50,000, demonstrating how additional mandatory costs are included in the on-road price.

  3. Insurance (Assuming 5% of ex-showroom price): ₹10,00,000 x 5% = ₹50,000

Total On-Road Price = Ex-Showroom Price + Road Tax + Insurance

Total On-Road Price = 10,00,000 + 1,00,000 + 50,000 = ₹11,50,000

So, the on-road price of the car, considering only the main charges, would be ₹11,50,000.

Note:

  • The percentages for road tax and insurance can vary by state and specific car model.

  • Always check the exact percentages and costs with your car dealer or relevant authorities.


The ex-showroom price and the on-road price are two different cost components involved in purchasing a car. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the differences:

Ex-Showroom Price:

  • Definition: The ex-showroom price is the price of the car as sold by the manufacturer to the dealer, plus the dealer's margin. It includes the Goods and Services Tax (GST) but excludes other on-road costs such as insurance, registration, and additional charges.

  • Components Included:

    • Base price of the car

    • Dealer’s margin

    • Goods and Services Tax (GST) and any applicable cess

  • Exclusions:

    • Road tax/registration charges

    • Insurance

    • Handling charges

    • Any additional charges like accessories or extended warranty

On-Road Price:

  • Definition: The on-road price is the final price a buyer pays to drive the car out of the dealership. It includes the ex-showroom price plus all additional costs required to make the car road-legal and operational.

  • Components Included:

    • Ex-showroom price

    • Road tax/registration charges (varies by state)

    • Insurance (third-party and/or comprehensive)

    • Handling charges

    • Optional accessories

    • Extended warranty (optional)

    • Other miscellaneous charges (e.g., fast tag, number plates)

Key Differences:

  1. Scope:

    • Ex-Showroom Price: Limited to the car’s base cost, dealer margin, and GST.

    • On-Road Price: Comprehensive, including all costs required to legally drive the car on the road.

  2. Cost:

    • Ex-Showroom Price: Lower, as it doesn’t include additional taxes, insurance, or fees.

    • On-Road Price: Higher, as it encompasses all necessary expenses beyond the ex-showroom price.

  3. Purpose:

    • Ex-Showroom Price: Used as a reference for the base cost of the car, often used in advertisements.

    • On-Road Price: Represents the total cost of ownership at the point of purchase, reflecting the actual amount a buyer needs to pay.

Example Calculation:

For a car with an ex-showroom price of ₹10,00,000:

  • Ex-Showroom Price: ₹10,00,000

  • On-Road Price Calculation:

    • Ex-Showroom Price: ₹10,00,000

    • Road Tax (Assuming 10%): ₹1,00,000

    • Insurance (Assuming 5%): ₹50,000

    • Total On-Road Price: ₹10,00,000 + ₹1,00,000 + ₹50,000 = ₹11,50,000

In this example, the ex-showroom price is ₹10,00,000, while the on-road price is ₹11,50,000, demonstrating how additional mandatory costs are included in the on-road price.
