What does this tool do?

A group road trip is easiest to settle by totalling fuel and shared costs, then dividing by the number of travellers. This calculator estimates fuel from distance and consumption and adds other shared expenses.

The Formula

Fuel = Distance × (L/100 km ÷ 100) × Price; Per person = (Fuel + Other costs) ÷ Travellers

Frequently Asked Questions

Should the driver pay less?

Some groups give the driver a discount for wear and tear, but an equal split of fuel and shared costs is the simplest starting point. Agree the rule before the trip.

How do I include tolls and parking?

Add them to the other shared costs field. Keep receipts so the final settlement matches the actual spend.
