About ByaheCalc

What ByaheCalc is

ByaheCalc is a calculator-only hub for Philippine transportation costs. The other sites tell you the rules — we compute the exact peso amount. We launched with five LTO calculators (vehicle registration, late penalties, plate renewal schedule, transfer of ownership, driver's license renewal). Over time, the plan is to cover every peso a Filipino spends on transportation: tolls, commute fares, fuel cost, parking, and inter-island travel.

“Byahe” means trip or journey. It covers driving, commuting, and travel — and that is the whole scope we intend to serve, one calculator at a time.

How we compute

Every fee, rate, and penalty in our calculators traces back to a primary source — LTO memorandum circulars, Department of Finance orders, BIR revenue regulations, and the Insurance Commission rate schedules for CTPL. Each calculator's “How this is computed” section cites the specific document behind every number we use.

When the LTO, DOF, or BIR publishes a new memorandum, we update the rate and bump the last-verified date shown on the affected calculator. Our calculators are not a guess at what the LTO charges — they are the LTO's own published rates, applied to the inputs you give us. You can independently verify our number against the cited document on the LTO website.

Who built this

ByaheCalc is built and maintained by Christian Burgos, an independent full-stack developer based in Manila. By day I work in cybersecurity; on evenings and weekends I built ByaheCalc because I kept hitting the same wall as everyone else — searching for “LTO registration fee 2026” and finding ten guide articles that explained the rules but never told me the actual peso amount for my specific vehicle.

ByaheCalc is a one-person project, intentionally. Small surface area, no user accounts, no data to lose, every line of math inspectable. If a calculator is wrong, that is on me directly — email byahecalc@gmail.com and I will fix it.

What we deliberately don't do

• No user accounts.No signup, no login, no passwords to forget. Every calculator's state lives in the URL, so sharing a result is just sharing a link.
• No email capture, no newsletter. We do not want your email address. We will not ask for it.
• No personal data collection. Your calculator inputs (plate numbers, vehicle weights, license types) are not logged or stored on our servers. See our Privacy Policy for the full picture.
• No guide articles, no blog. Other sites do guides well. We do calculators. That is the whole product.
