How Sydney Toll Prices Are Calculated

Sydney does not use one tolling formula across every road.

Different roads use different pricing systems:

  • WestConnex and the M7 use distance-based tolling.

  • The Hills M2 charges according to the toll point or points passed.

  • NorthConnex, the Eastern Distributor and Lane Cove Tunnel use fixed road or tunnel charges.

  • The Sydney Harbour Bridge and Harbour Tunnel use peak, daytime off-peak and night rates.

  • The Cross City Tunnel has a lower charge for the shorter Sir John Young Crescent journey.

A longer journey can use several separately tolled roads. For example, a driver using NorthConnex may also be charged for the M2 connection.

Use the official Sydney toll calculator for the most accurate entry-to-exit estimate.

What Do Class A and Class B Mean?

Class A generally covers vehicles no more than 2.8 metres high and no more than 12.5 metres long. Cars and motorcycles are usually Class A.

Class B generally covers vehicles exceeding either measurement. This includes many trucks, buses and large vehicle-and-trailer combinations.

Trailers, caravans, roof loads and raised roofs can affect the vehicle class.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge and Harbour Tunnel operate differently. All vehicles currently pay the same crossing toll.

How to Pay Sydney Tolls

All Sydney toll roads are cashless. There are no cash tollbooths.

You can normally pay using:

  • An electronic tag account

  • A tagless toll account

  • A Sydney Pass

  • Another accepted Australian toll account

  • A casual pass where available

Australian toll tags are generally interoperable. A tag issued in Queensland or Victoria can normally be used on Sydney toll roads, provided the account is active and the vehicle details are correct.

What If You Travelled Without a Tag?

Arrange payment as soon as possible.

Service NSW generally allows motorists to open an account or pass within 72 hours of travelling, although some road-specific guidance uses a stricter two-day period. Acting within two days is the safer approach.

Do not wait for a toll notice if you already know you travelled without an active payment arrangement.

Unpaid trips can progress through:

  • An unpaid toll reminder

  • A Toll Payment Demand

  • Debt recovery or enforcement

  • A penalty notice if the matter remains unresolved

Toll-notice administration fees were switched off for new NSW trips from July 2026. Number-plate matching fees can still apply.

Linkt or E-Toll: Who Do I Pay?

Most privately operated Sydney toll roads are handled through Linkt.

This includes:

  • WestConnex

  • Hills M2

  • Westlink M7

  • NorthConnex

  • Eastern Distributor

  • Cross City Tunnel

  • Lane Cove Tunnel

Sydney Harbour Bridge and Harbour Tunnel toll notices are handled through E-Toll.

Your existing Australian toll tag may still cover travel across both government and privately operated toll roads.

NSW Weekly Toll Relief

The NSW weekly toll cap was temporarily reduced from $60 to $50 from 6 July 2026 for twelve months.

This is a rebate. It does not mean toll charges automatically stop once you have spent $50.

Eligible motorists continue paying through their toll account and then claim qualifying spending through Service NSW.

Eligibility rules apply. Business travel, Class B travel, casual passes and number-plate matching fees are generally excluded.

Future Sydney Toll Changes

Several changes have been announced:

  • Lane Cove Tunnel tolls are scheduled to fall by 10% from 1 July 2027.

  • Longer M2 journeys and the M2-NorthConnex ramp charge are scheduled to fall by 10% from 1 July 2027.

  • The M7 distance cap is planned to reduce from 20 kilometres to 18 kilometres from 1 January 2028, subject to the M2-M7 widening decision.

  • The Cross City Tunnel is planned to receive a 20% reduction when the Western Harbour Tunnel opens.

  • The Eastern Distributor is planned to move to two-way tolling when the Western Harbour Tunnel opens.

  • The Sydney Harbour Bridge and Harbour Tunnel are also planned to move to two-way tolling.

Exact future dollar prices should not be estimated from current tolls. Existing prices may be indexed again before the changes begin.
