NYC congestion pricing rates in 2026
For a standard passenger vehicle using the applicable New York E-ZPass rate, the current initial-phase Congestion Relief Zone toll is $9 during peak hours and $2.25 overnight. Tolls by Mail rates are higher.
Choose the vehicle, time period and payment method in the calculator rather than assuming every entry costs the same amount.
Where the Congestion Relief Zone applies
The Congestion Relief Zone covers Manhattan south of and including 60th Street, with specified excluded roadways. The toll is generally triggered by entering the tolled street network, not simply by being anywhere in Manhattan.
If your route runs close to the boundary or an excluded roadway, confirm it on the official MTA map.
Peak and overnight rates are very different
The MTA defines peak hours as 5 a.m.–9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m.–9 p.m. on weekends. Overnight rates are substantially lower.
Use the overnight option only when the vehicle actually enters during the official overnight period.
E-ZPass changes the price
The applicable New York E-ZPass rates are lower than Tolls by Mail rates. Make sure the vehicle and license plate are correctly associated with the account so the intended rate can be applied.
Rental cars may add their own toll-processing charges, which this calculator does not include.
Crossing credits apply only in specific cases
During peak periods, qualifying vehicles entering through the Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, Hugh L. Carey Tunnel or Queens Midtown Tunnel can receive a credit against the Congestion Relief Zone toll when the required payment conditions are met.
The credit is not a universal discount and does not apply to every Manhattan entry.
