A toll control apparatus 100 includes a traffic volume prediction unit 10 that predicts a future overall traffic volume on a first road 401 and a second road 402, a toll control unit 20 that outputs, with the predicted overall traffic volume and a predetermined road toll as inputs, a future traffic volume and a predicted traveling speed on the second road for a case where a toll on the second road is set to the predetermined road toll, and a toll optimization unit 30. The toll optimization unit 30 sets one or more road toll candidates, selects a road toll candidate for which the predicted traveling speed obtained by inputting the road toll candidate to the toll control unit 20 is greater than or equal to a threshold value, and sets the road toll candidate that maximizes the toll revenue for the second road among the selected road toll candidates.
