How to Read the NLEX Toll Matrix

The toll matrix shows the fare between every pair of entry and exit plazas on the North Luzon Expressway. To find your toll fee:

Select your vehicle class using the tabs above (Class 1 for cars, Class 2 for buses, Class 3 for large trucks).
Find your entry plaza in the top header row.
Find your exit plaza in the left column.
The cell where the row and column intersect is your toll fee in PHP.

A double dash (--) means the matrix lists no fare between those plazas. All rates are VAT-inclusive. Scroll horizontally on mobile to see all columns.

A fare covers this road only and is the same in both directions unless the matrix marks the pair one-way. Tolls on a connecting expressway are charged separately; the toll calculator adds them up.

Pick your vehicle class first. Loading only the Class 1 fare leaves a truck short at the exit: Balintawak to Tipo/Subic is ₱857 in Class 1 but ₱2,569 in Class 3. Load that amount, then check your Easytrip balance before you enter.

Understanding NLEX Toll Fees

The North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) is a 84-kilometer closed-system expressway operated by Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC) in North Luzon. As a closed-system expressway, NLEX toll fees are calculated based on the distance between your entry and exit plazas, the farther you travel, the higher the fee.

All NLEX toll rates are regulated and approved by the Toll Regulatory Board (TRB). Toll fees are collected cashless via the Easytrip RFID system. Three vehicle classes apply: Class 1 (cars, SUVs, vans), Class 2 (buses, light trucks) and Class 3 (large trucks, trailers).

Worked example: Balintawak to Dau

Entry Balintawak, exit Dau, Class 1 car.
The TRB matrix as of February 2026 prices that pair at ₱411.
The pair is not one-way, so the return costs the same: ₱822 for the round trip.
A Class 3 truck on the same pair pays ₱1,232, 3.0 times the car fare.

For your own pair, read the matrix above or enter both plazas in the toll calculator.

NLEX connects to Skyway Stage 3 at Balintawak; NLEX Connector at C-3 Road; Harbor Link at Karuhatan/Valenzuela; SCTEX at Dau/Mabalacat. For trips spanning multiple expressways, use the toll calculator to compute the combined toll fee across all segments.
