In this paper we evaluate some Toeplitz-type determinants. Let $n>1$ be an integer. We prove the following two basic identities: \begin{align*} \det{[j-k+\delta_{jk}]_{1\leq j,k\leq n}}&=1+\frac{n^2(n^2-1)}{12}, \\ \det{[|j-k|+\delta_{jk}]_{1\leq j,k\leq n}}&= \begin{cases} \frac{1+(-1)^{(n-1)/2}n}{2}&\text{if}\ 2\nmid n,\\ \frac{1+(-1)^{n/2}}{2}&\text{if}\ 2\mid n, \end{cases} \end{align*} where $\delta_{jk}$ is the Kronecker delta. For complex numbers $a,b,c$ with $b\not=0$ and $a^2\not=4b$, and the sequence $(w_m)_{m\in\mathbb Z}$ with $w_{k+1}=aw_k-bw_{k-1}$ for all $k\in\mathbb Z$, we establish the identity $$\det[w_{j-k}+c\delta_{jk}]_{1\le j,k\le n} =c^n+c^{n-1}nw_0+c^{n-2}(w_1^2-aw_0w_1+bw_0^2)\frac{u_n^2b^{1-n}-n^2}{a^2-4b},$$ where $u_0=0$, $u_1=1$ and $u_{k+1}=au_k-bu_{k-1}$ for all $k=1,2,\ldots$.
