Window Tint Checker by State
See the legal tint limit for every window of your car, and check your own film against it. Pick your state, enter the VLT on the film box or receipt, and read which windows it meets, with the medical exemption and the penalty alongside.
Pick your state
Each checker uses that state's own per-window figures. Front side windows are the limit that most often decides a stop.
How the window tint checker works
Every state writes its tint law around VLT, visible light transmission: the share of light a window lets through, where a lower number is darker. Most states set one minimum for the front side windows and looser rules behind the driver, and a few regulate by film placement instead of darkness. The checker shows the limit for each window position and, if you enter your film's VLT, whether that shade meets each one, computed from the same statute-cited rules as our reference pages.
The checker states the limits; it does not decide whether a stop or ticket was correct. Police measure the installed darkness, film plus factory glass, which reads lower than the film alone, and reflectivity or color rules can apply on top. This tool is informational only and not legal advice. Open your state for the per-window figures and the official citation, or see the window tint laws by state.
