How is the savings potential calculated through i-Kfz?

Since the introduction of i-Kfz Stage 4 in September 2023, official fees for digital vehicle registration have dropped significantly. While registration at the local office usually costs around €30.00, the federal fee for online registration is only €16.30 (saving €13.70). For de-registration, the difference is even more dramatic: €16.80 on-site compared to just €2.70 online (saving €14.10).

Additionally, you save by eliminating travel (calculated at €0.30 per kilometer for the round trip) and the expensive sign makers next to the office, who often charge up to €40.00 per set, whereas online plates can be ordered from around €19.90. Finally, we calculate the saved time (travel time + waiting time minus 10 minutes for online processing) valued at your personal leisure rate to show the actual total savings.
