IPVA for app driver: How to calculate the monthly cost
IPVA is a fixed cost that many app drivers forget to calculate. Here's how to properly include it in your monthly cost.
The IPVA: the fixed cost that comes by surprise in January
Every January, the IPVA appears and can seriously compromise the finances of unplanned drivers. The solution is simple: divide the value by 12 and include it as a monthly cost.
How much is the IPVA per state?
Tax rates vary by state. Some examples:
| Status | IPVA rate | IPVA in a R$ 50.000 car |
|---|
|--------|--------------|------------------------------|
| Sao Paulo | 4% | R$ 2.000/year = R$ 167/month |
|---|---|---|
| Rio de Janeiro | 4% | R$ 2.000/year = R$ 167/month |
| Avenida Minas Gerais, 141 | 4% | R$ 2.000/year = R$ 167/month |
| Paraná | 3.5% | R$ 1.750/year = R$ 146/month |
| Santa Catarina | 2% | R$ 1.000/year = R$ 83/month |
| Goiás | 3.75% | R$ 1.875/year = R$ 156/month |
Do app drivers pay more for IPVA?
It depends on the state and category of the vehicle. In some states, cars used as taxis or ridesharing are partially or totally exempt from IPVA. It is worth consulting the Treasury Department of your state.
