Mobility & Vehicles calculators in Spain 2026

From calculating the real cost of a traffic fine to evaluating whether switching to electric saves money, these tools cover everything vehicle-related in Spain. The traffic fine calculator applies the official DGT sanction catalogue. The company car calculator determines the benefit-in-kind under Ley 35/2006 del IRPF: 20% of the vehicle's market value per year. The MOVES III calculator applies current grants for electric vehicles.

The DGT (Directorate General of Traffic) manages the points system and sanction catalogue. The AEAT governs vehicle benefit-in-kind taxation. The IDAE manages the MOVES III scheme. The Ministerio de Hacienda sets IVTM (vehicle road tax) limits, with municipalities setting the actual rate.

Expats in Spain commonly ask: how much is my traffic fine and can I get a discount?, how does my company car affect my taxes?, or is an electric car worth it in Spain? The answers depend on your specific vehicle, location, and tax situation.

Pay your Spanish traffic fine within 20 days to get an automatic 50% discount

All Spanish traffic fines offer a 50% discount if paid within 20 calendar days of notification, except for very serious infractions involving licence suspension. A โ‚ฌ200 fine becomes โ‚ฌ100. Note that early payment implies waiving your right to appeal โ€” check for procedural defects first.

A company car generates IRPF benefit-in-kind even if you only use it for work

Any mixed-use company car (work and personal) generates a benefit-in-kind of 20% of the vehicle's new market value per year, reducible to 15% for electric vehicles or 10% for low-emission vehicles. This adds directly to your taxable income. The company car calculator shows the exact payslip impact.

Exceeding 30 km/h over the limit in an urban area is always a very serious infraction

Spanish speed infractions have three levels: minor (up to 20 km/h excess), serious (21โ€“30 km/h), and very serious (over 30 km/h in urban areas, over 40 km/h on interurban roads). Very serious infractions carry up to 6 points deducted and do not qualify for the 50% early-payment discount.

MOVES III can cover up to 35% of the price of an electric vehicle in Spain in 2026

Frequently asked questions

How many points can I lose on my Spanish driving licence?

The starting balance is 12 points (novice drivers start with 8). Serious infractions deduct 2โ€“4 points and very serious ones deduct 6 points. Points can be recovered by completing approved courses: up to 6 points with one course if you still have your full balance, or up to 12 points after losing everything and having 2 clean years.

How much does car insurance cost for a 25-year-old in Spain?

For a 25-year-old with a new licence, comprehensive insurance typically costs between โ‚ฌ800 and โ‚ฌ1,800/year depending on vehicle, zone, and history. Third-party only can be โ‚ฌ300โ€“โ‚ฌ600. The bonus-malus system progressively reduces premiums for claims-free years. The car insurance estimator gives an indicative premium.

How much does it cost to charge an electric car at home in Spain?

With a standard domestic socket (2.3 kW), a 60 kWh battery takes approximately 26 hours for a full charge. With a home wallbox (7.4 kW), about 8 hours. With a DC fast charger (50 kW), you can reach 80% in ~45 minutes. At a typical home tariff of โ‚ฌ0.15/kWh, a full 60 kWh charge costs approximately โ‚ฌ9.

Is it worth switching to an electric car in Spain in 2026?

For drivers covering more than 12,000 km/year with home charging, the total cost of ownership typically favours electric at 5โ€“7 years including MOVES III grants. Annual fuel savings vs petrol can exceed โ‚ฌ1,500. For low-mileage city drivers without home charging, the calculation is less favourable.

Does a company car affect my gross salary in Spain?

Yes. The benefit-in-kind is 20% of the new market value per year (15% for BEV, 10% for low-emission). For a โ‚ฌ30,000 car, this adds โ‚ฌ6,000 to your taxable income. At a 30% marginal rate, the real annual tax cost to you is โ‚ฌ1,800. This appears on your payslip under "retribuciรณn en especie".
