Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) Calculator

Calculate Your Shortest TSP Route

Input one city per line: City Name, X-coordinate, Y-coordinate. (Supports up to 8 cities for reasonable calculation time)
Specify a starting city if desired. If left blank, the first city listed will be considered the start.

Unravel the complexities of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) with our intuitive online calculator. Whether you're planning delivery routes, optimizing logistics, or simply curious about efficient travel, this tool helps find the shortest possible route visiting a set of cities exactly once and returning to the origin.

Formula:

The Traveling Salesman Problem aims to find the Hamiltonian cycle (a closed loop visiting each point exactly once) with the minimum total weight (distance). The objective is to minimize the total path length (D):

D = ∑ distance(cityi, cityi+1) + distance(citylast, cityfirst)
