Cost per Mile
Cost of running a vehicle per mile or km from your own yearly figures: fuel, depreciation, insurance, tax, maintenance, parking and finance; nothing estimated.
The yearly total and its per-km, per-mile and per-day figure, with each cost line’s share, so you can see what actually drives the number.
Example: 15,000 km a year at 7 L/100 km and 1.60/L, 3,000 depreciation, 900 insurance and 1,750 of other costs comes to 7,330 a year — 0.49 per km.
Every line yours,
divided by the miles.
What goes into a per-mile cost, why depreciation is usually the largest line, how the year is normalised, and why this page estimates nothing on your behalf.
The lines
Yearly fuel is distance × consumption × price with exact unit factors; depreciation is what you paid minus what you expect to sell for, spread evenly over the years kept; insurance, tax and registration, maintenance and tires, parking and tolls, and finance interest are entered as yearly figures. The total divided by the yearly distance is the cost per km and per mile; per day uses 365 days.
Depreciation
For an owned vehicle the loss in value is usually the biggest cost and the easiest to forget because no money leaves the account each month. Straight-line spreading is the simple convention used here; real depreciation is front-loaded, so a short ownership period costs more per year than a long one. Enter realistic resale expectations.
Nothing estimated
Many calculators fill in “typical” maintenance or insurance; this one does not — a 0 means the line is not counted, and the page says so. Official rates such as tax mileage allowances are set by the authority and are not this figure.
What the number does not settle
Marginal cost of one extra trip is fuel plus wear, not the average shown here; see Fuel & Trip Cost for that. Leasing and business-use accounting have their own rules. Inputs stay in your browser; the same four anonymous usage counts as the rest of the site apply.
