Formula:
To determine your commute costs, the calculator uses the following principles:
Daily Fuel Cost (FC):
If MPG: (D / FEMPG) × FP
If L/100km: (D / 100) × FEL/100km × FP
Total Daily Car Commute Cost (TDCC):
FC + PC + TC + (D × MC)
Weekly Commute Cost (WCC):
TDCC × CD
Monthly Commute Cost (MoCC):
WCC × (52 weeks / 12 months)
Yearly Commute Cost (YCC):
WCC × 52 weeks
Where:
- D: Daily round-trip commute distance
- FEMPG: Vehicle's fuel efficiency in Miles Per Gallon
- FEL/100km: Vehicle's fuel efficiency in Liters per 100 Kilometers
- FP: Fuel price per unit (gallon or liter)
- PC: Average daily parking cost
- TC: Average daily toll cost
- MC: Estimated maintenance cost per distance unit
- CD: Number of commute days per week
