Quick answer

A window sticker (Monroney label) is the factory-required label that lists a vehicle's MSRP, standard and optional equipment, EPA fuel economy and NHTSA safety ratings. ForCar recreates it from any VIN using official NHTSA data — free.

What's on a window sticker

The Monroney sticker is the label legally required on every new vehicle. It lists exactly how the vehicle was equipped and priced from the factory:

  • MSRP & pricing — The manufacturer's suggested retail price plus the price of every option and package.
  • Standard equipment — Everything that came included on the trim from the factory.
  • Optional equipment — Factory options and packages that were added, each with its price.
  • Fuel economy — The EPA city/highway/combined MPG (or MPGe / range for electrics).
  • Safety ratings — NHTSA crash-test star ratings for that model year.
  • Warranty — Basic and powertrain warranty coverage as sold.
  • Parts content — US/Canadian vs foreign parts content and the country of assembly.
  • Assembly plant — Where the vehicle was built — also encoded in the VIN.

How to read a window sticker

Every Monroney label follows the same layout. Here's what each zone tells you, top to bottom:

  • Header — year, make, model, trim and body style, plus the exterior and interior colors.
  • Standard equipment — everything included on the trim at no extra cost: mechanical, comfort and safety features.
  • Optional equipment & packages — factory add-ons listed with individual prices that raise the total.
  • Pricing block — base MSRP, each option's price, the destination charge and the Total MSRP.
  • Fuel economy label — EPA city / highway / combined MPG (or MPGe and range for EVs) and the estimated annual fuel cost.
  • Safety ratings — NHTSA 5-star crash-test scores for that model year.
  • Parts content — US/Canadian parts percentage, country of origin and the final assembly plant.
  • VIN & barcode — the 17-character VIN that ties the label to that exact vehicle.

Used or new

For most cars, trucks and SUVs from the 1990s onward you'll get full equipment, EPA MPG and safety. Very old or low-volume models may have partial data — you'll still see everything NHTSA holds for that VIN.

A window sticker shows what a car cost new — its original MSRP. To see what the same car is worth now, check what a used car is worth today or browse current market prices. Buying used? Run a free VIN check for its accident, title and theft history first.

Why window stickers exist — the Monroney Act

1958

The window sticker isn't marketing — it's the law.

The Automobile Information Disclosure Act of 1958 — the Monroney Act, after Senator Mike Monroney — requires every new car sold in the US to state the MSRP, the price of each option, the destination charge and the total. Removing it before sale is a federal offense. Later rules added the EPA fuel-economy label and NHTSA safety ratings.

What the sticker database covers

A Monroney label is only as good as the records behind it. We rebuild it from EPA fuel-economy data, NHTSA ratings and live market prices — here is how far that reaches across 1,314 models, and what kinds of vehicle they are:

For these makes we pull the genuine factory Monroney label straight from the manufacturer — the exact document that shipped with the car. Free, no signup, any VIN including used cars:

Every other brand keeps its stickers private. Toyota, Lexus and Kia closed public access in 2026; Honda, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and the rest never opened it. For those we rebuild the label from NHTSA and EPA records — the layout, fuel economy figures and safety ratings are real, and the option lines are yours to fill in.

Window sticker — frequently asked

What is a window sticker (Monroney label)?

The Monroney sticker is the label legally required on every new US vehicle — MSRP, standard and optional equipment with prices, EPA fuel economy, safety ratings and warranty.

Can I get a window sticker by VIN for free?

Yes — enter the VIN and ForCar recreates the build (equipment, MPG, safety) from NHTSA's public database, free with no signup.

Is this the same as CarEdge or Monroney.com?

Like those sites, ForCar recreates the original window sticker from the VIN for free — equipment, EPA MPG and safety from official NHTSA and EPA data, plus a built-in editor to add pricing and options.

Is the recreated sticker the same as the original?

It rebuilds the factory equipment, EPA MPG and safety from official data. Exact dealer-added pricing may differ, but the core Monroney content matches.

Where do I find the VIN?

Lower-left of the windshield, the driver's door-jamb sticker, or your registration and insurance documents.

What's the difference between a window sticker and a build sheet?

The window sticker (Monroney label) is the consumer-facing label with MSRP, equipment, MPG and safety. A build sheet is the factory's internal spec list — option codes, paint code and assembly details. ForCar's VIN lookup pulls both.

Can I get a window sticker for a used or older car?

Yes. ForCar rebuilds the original window sticker for used and older vehicles from the VIN. Coverage runs back to about 1981, when the 17-character VIN became standard; most cars from the 1990s on have full data.

I lost my window sticker — can I get a copy?

Yes. Enter the VIN, view the recreated Monroney label and use Print / Save as PDF to keep a copy for your records, an insurance claim or a sale. There's no need to contact the dealer or manufacturer.

Why might the recreated MSRP differ from the original?

The factory equipment, EPA MPG and safety match the original. Dealer-added options, regional packages and destination charges can vary, so the exact total may differ slightly from the printed sticker.
