Add up what ERP costs you per trip, per month and per year. Enter the base rate for each gantry on your route from LTA's rate table, pick your vehicle, and the calculator applies LTA's vehicle factor. Below: how ERP rates work, when ERP is free, and what changes with ERP 2.0.

This is the most you would pay. ERP is free on Sundays and public holidays, and LTA cuts some rates in the June and December school holidays, so the real total is usually lower.

LTA publishes current ERP rates as a PDF table of gantries against 5-minute time slots. It removed the ERP rates API from DataMall on 30 Sep 2024, and rates change every quarter. A copied table goes stale, so this page asks you for the rate from LTA's own table and does the adding up. The last change: from 7 Sep 2026, the Orchard Cordon charges S$1 on weekdays from 11am to 7pm.
| Vehicle | Pays |
|---|---|
| Car, taxi or light goods vehicle | Base rate |
| Motorcycle | Base rate x 0.5 |
| Heavy goods vehicle or small bus | Base rate x 1.5 |
| Very heavy goods vehicle or big bus | Base rate x 2 |
You drive into Orchard on a weekday at noon and pass the S$1 Orchard Cordon, then an expressway gantry that shows S$2.50 on LTA's table for your slot. One trip costs S$3.50 by car, or S$1.75 by motorcycle. Ten such trips a week is S$35, or S$1,820 over a year: about S$151.67 a month.
Figures checked 3 Oct 2026.
On LTA's OneMotoring ERP page, as a PDF rate table for each gantry and time slot. The current table took effect on 7 Sep 2026. LTA DataMall offers the same PDF; its ERP rates API was removed on 30 Sep 2024.
LTA's table shows base rates for cars, taxis and light goods vehicles. Motorcycles pay half. Heavy goods vehicles and small buses pay 1.5 times, and very heavy goods vehicles and big buses pay twice the base rate.
On Sundays and public holidays. ERP also stops at 1pm on the eve of New Year's Day, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa, Deepavali and Christmas Day.
From 7 Sep 2026, ERP resumed at the Orchard Cordon on weekdays from 11am to 7pm at S$1. LTA said other rates stayed the same.
LTA reviews them every quarter and adjusts them during the June and December school holidays, based on traffic speeds.
LTA sends an SMS. Pay within 5 days of the SMS and there is no admin charge. After that you get a letter and pay the charge plus a S$10 admin charge.
S$70 for each operating ERP gantry you pass.
On 1 Jan 2027 for Singapore-registered vehicles, except classic and vintage vehicles and laid-up vehicles. LTA is phasing out the IU by end 2026, and foreign vehicles without an OBU pay a flat daily fee from 1 Jan 2027. For now, ERP is still charged at the physical gantries.
The trip cost is rounded to the cent after the vehicle factor. The yearly total is rounded to the cent, and the monthly figure is shown to the cent.
