# What it will cost to get it out of impound
**Towing and impound rules are set by state and often by city.**Rules vary by state and often by city, and they change frequently. Verify with the agency named below before acting.

Tow charge ($) 

Days stored 

Storage per day ($) 

Release / admin fee ($) 

 

This calculator needs JavaScript. The reference table below covers the common cases.

## The formula
total = tow + (days × daily storage) + release fee

## Worked example
A $150 tow, 3 days at $45 ($135) and a $25 release fee is $310.

## Assumptions
Storage almost always accrues per calendar day, not per 24 hours. Use your lot's published figures — schedules change annually.

## Reference table
Tow $150 + $45/day + $25| Days | Total 

| 1 | $220 

| 3 | $310 

| 7 | $490 

| 14 | $805 

| 30 | $1525
