📖 Overview
Use this tool to include transportation overhead in your monthly budget.
⚙️ How It Works
This estimates monthly commute cost from daily distance and per-kilometer cost, using a 22-workday month.
The Formula
Monthly Cost = Daily Distance (km) × 2 × Cost/km × 22 days
| Daily Distance | One-way commute distance in km |
| × 2 | Round trip multiplier |
| Cost/km | Combined fuel, wear, and running cost per kilometer |
| 22 days | Standard working days per month |
💡Average total running cost for a petrol car is roughly €0.15–0.25/km including fuel, depreciation, and maintenance. Electric vehicles typically run €0.05–0.12/km.
Quick Reference
| One-way km | €0.10/km | €0.15/km | €0.20/km | €0.25/km |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 km | €44/mo | €66/mo | €88/mo | €110/mo |
| 20 km | €88/mo | €132/mo | €176/mo | €220/mo |
| 30 km | €132/mo | €198/mo | €264/mo | €330/mo |
| 50 km | €220/mo | €330/mo | €440/mo | €550/mo |
Practical Tips
💡 Update per-km cost when fuel prices shift.
💡 Include parking and tolls separately if needed.
💡 Use this number when evaluating remote or hybrid options.
