What this calculator estimates
Estimate annual commuting cost from mileage, fuel economy, parking and tolls.
How to use it
Enter Round-trip commute miles per day; Commute days per year; Vehicle MPG; Gas price per gallon ($); Parking per workday ($); Tolls per workday ($). Select Calculate to update the results.
How the calculation works
Annual fuel cost uses commute miles divided by MPG times fuel price. Parking and tolls are multiplied by commute days.
Worked example: starting scenario
| Round-trip commute miles per day | 30 |
|---|---|
| Commute days per year | 230 |
| Vehicle MPG | 28 |
| Gas price per gallon ($) | 3.5 |
| Parking per workday ($) | 8 |
| Tolls per workday ($) | 3 |
| Estimated annual commute cost | $3,392.50 |
|---|---|
| Estimated monthly cost | $282.71 |
| Annual fuel cost | $862.50 |
| Annual parking and tolls | $2,530.00 |
Important limitations
Maintenance, depreciation, insurance and time are excluded.
Count journeys rather than calendar days
Round-trip distance already includes the outward and return journey. Multiply by the days actually commuting, excluding remote-work days and leave. Add parking or tolls on the period stated in their input labels. Fuel-only cost is different from the full vehicle cost because insurance, depreciation and repairs may remain outside the form.
