Short answer: it depends on the car, your postcode, and whether your insurer thinks you drive like a saint.
In NSW, a 12‑month rego bill is made up of CTP green slip insurance, the registration fee, a weight‑based motor vehicle tax, and (if the car’s 5+ years old) an eSafety inspection; new plates add a small plate fee.
For an average passenger car, expect roughly AUD 700–1,300 a year in total: CTP around AUD 350–700, rego fee about AUD 70, motor vehicle tax commonly AUD 200–500, plus roughly AUD 40 for the inspection.
Six‑month rego is usually available, concessions exist, and costs swing with weight, location, age and your green slip provider—so your number will vary.
Use the Service NSW and Green Slip calculators for an exact figure; then reward yourself with a pie, because bureaucracy always burns calories.
