ERP Calculator (ERP 2.0)
Estimate daily and monthly ERP charges by zone and time period.
What is ERP (Electronic Road Pricing)?
ERP is Singapore's congestion pricing system managed by LTA. The current ERP 2.0 system uses satellite-based technology to charge motorists based on distance, time of day, and traffic conditions. Rates range from $0.50 to $6.00 per pass depending on zone and peak hours, with most zones free on weekends.

How ERP 2.0 Works
ERP 2.0 uses satellite and camera-based technology to implement dynamic road pricing across Singapore. Unlike the old gantry system, ERP 2.0 can charge based on distance travelled, time of day, and real-time traffic conditions.
Charges vary by zone — the CBD and major expressways have the highest rates during peak hours (typically 7:30am-9:30am and 5:00pm-8:00pm on weekdays). Suburban roads and off-peak hours generally have lower or zero charges.
The system aims to manage traffic congestion by encouraging drivers to travel during off-peak hours or use alternative routes. Most zones are free on weekends and public holidays.
