Why thousands of EV buyers use this calculator

📋

Based on IRS & IRA Guidelines

Every state's rebate program, sales tax exemption, and local EV incentive is factored in — so you see your true combined savings, not just the state rebate.

Simple & Fast

How the EV Tax Credit Calculator Works

Three inputs. Instant result. No spreadsheets, no tax code research.

01

Enter Your Income & Filing Status

Your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) determines whether you qualify. The IRS sets income caps that vary by filing status — we check them automatically.

02

Select Your State & Vehicle

Choose your state to see what local rebate is available. Enter the MSRP to verify it's under the IRS cap ($55K for sedans, $80K for SUVs/trucks) — used for state programs that share the same limit.

03

See Your Total Savings Instantly

The calculator checks your state rebate and confirms your eligibility to show you the maximum potential savings on your new or used EV purchase.

04

Apply at Point of Sale

Before it expired, the federal credit could be transferred to your dealer as an instant discount. Some state rebate programs still offer their own point-of-sale option — our results tell you exactly what to ask for at the dealership.

Common Questions

EV Tax Credit FAQ

Everything you need to know before buying an electric vehicle in 2026.

Is there still a federal EV tax credit in 2026? +
No. The federal EV tax credit — up to $7,500 for new EVs and up to $4,000 for used EVs — expired for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. The only exception is buyers who signed a binding contract and made a payment on or before that date. For 2026 purchases, state and local incentives are what's actually available — check your state's page below.
What income limits applied to the old federal EV credit? +
Before it expired, the AGI income caps were: $150,000 for single filers, $225,000 for head of household filers, and $300,000 for married couples filing jointly. These limits no longer apply to any current purchase since the credit itself has expired — shown here for historical reference.
What were the MSRP limits for the old EV credit? +
The vehicle's Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) could not exceed: $55,000 for sedans, wagons, and cars; $80,000 for SUVs, crossovers, vans, and pickup trucks. This applied to the federal credit only, which is no longer active — your state's rebate may have its own separate price cap, listed on your state's page.
Can I still use the EV tax credit as a point-of-sale discount? +
No — the point-of-sale transfer option ended along with the federal credit itself on September 30, 2025. The IRS closed new registrations in the Energy Credits Online transfer portal at that time. Some state rebate programs offer their own point-of-sale option; check your state's page for details.
Are state EV rebates separate from the federal credit? +
Yes. State rebates, credits, and exemptions are separate programs from the (now-expired) federal credit and were generally stackable with it while it existed. California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Illinois, and Maryland offer some of the more meaningful state-level incentives still active in 2026. Check your state's page on this site for a detailed breakdown.
What qualified as a "used EV" under the old federal credit? +
A qualifying used EV had to: be at least 2 model years old at time of purchase, be purchased from a licensed dealer (not a private seller), have a sale price of $25,000 or less, and be the first resale under the used credit. Buyer income limits were lower for used EVs: $75,000 single, $112,500 head of household, $150,000 married. This is historical — the credit expired Oct 1, 2025.
Do leased EVs still get a tax credit? +
No. Leased EVs previously qualified through the commercial clean vehicle credit (§45W), often called the "leasing loophole" since it had no income or assembly requirements. That credit expired for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025 — the same cutoff as the personal credits. Any current lease savings now come from manufacturer incentives or state programs, not a federal tax credit.
