RUC calculator

Information you need

Before you can use this calculator, you need to know your vehicle type and its 'RUC weight'. RUC weight is the lesser of the:

gross vehicle mass for the RUC vehicle, or

maximum allowable mass for the RUC weight under section 4, Part 1 of the Land Transport Rule: Vehicle Dimensions and Mass 2016 (VDAM Rule 2016).

All amounts shown in this calculator include GST, but exclude administration fees that you pay when buying a RUC licence.

An additional licence must cover the weight between the RUC vehicle's maximum allowable mass under section 4.5(1) of Part 1 of the VDAM Rule 2002, and the maximum mass specified in the permit under which the RUC vehicle is operating. This option is likely to suit vehicles generally used within standard distance licence weight limits, but occasionally used to carry overweight loads.

An “H vehicle” licence allows a vehicle to carry weights up to the maximum weight of the vehicle's overweight permit at all times. This option is likely to suit vehicles being used to regularly carry overweight loads.
