What this tool does

Estimate a Taipei metered taxi fare from a known road distance; this is not a dispatch quote.

What to enter

Enter route distance and boarding time. Leave seconds at 5 km/h or below blank if unknown; enter zero only when confirmed. Select the Lunar New Year surcharge only when applicable.

Worked example

Example: 1 km with 60 seconds of low-speed time, at night and during the surcharge period: 85 + 5 + 20 + 30 = TWD 140.

How it is calculated

Multiply distance and slow-time increments by TWD 5 and add the TWD 85 base and selected surcharges. Enter full road distance, including distance travelled slowly.

Understanding the estimate

When slow-time is unknown, the estimate omits that charge; congestion or waiting can increase the final fare.

Limitations

Taipei authority notices and the actual meter govern. Dispatch charges, tolls and special fees are not included.
