You can calculate it for your car here:
Bereken uw motorrijtuigenbelasting
"Selecteer het soort voertuig" means "select your kind of car"
You want to pick "personenauto". Which is a regular kind of car (everything from mini to mpv, no trucks, vans, commercial van).
Provincie is Province, I live in Limburg (which is one of the cheapest provinces to run a car)
"Selecteer een brandstof" means "choose your kind of fuel". You'll probably have to check "Benzine" (petrol) or "Diesel".
And then there's a drop down menu for weight. My car is 820 kilograms. You have a Volvo if I'm not mistaken so that's probably quite heavy.
Click 'bereken' (calculate) and you'll see what your car would cost here
"per kwartaal" is a quarter of a year (3 months) and "Per jaar" is what it would cost you every year.
It is expensive! I checked it out. My car is a 2000 Volvo S70 T5, and it weighs about 1652 kg (drove it onto a truck scale once) without anything in it. With all the crap that I keep in my car, it definitely weighs a little more. That thing is an absolute tank. I love it.

It said yearly, I would have to pay about 1004 euros, which is about 1300 Canadian dollars. Wow!
