What does this tool do?
Commuting costs add up through distance, running costs and daily parking. This calculator projects annual distance and spend from a weekly pattern, then shows the monthly average.
The Formula
Annual km = One-way km × 2 × Days per week × Weeks; Total = Annual km × Cost per km + ParkingFrequently Asked Questions
What running cost per km should I use?
For fuel only, divide the price per litre by litres per 100 km and multiply by 100. A figure that includes tyres and servicing is higher; use 0.15–0.35 per km as a rough range.
Is public transport cheaper?
Often, especially with parking and congestion charges. Compare the annual ticket cost with the driving total here, and add the value of time for a fair comparison.
