Monthly Fuel Cost
Work out your monthly and yearly fuel cost from your daily kilometers.
Work out your monthly and yearly fuel cost from your daily kilometers.
The daily commute quietly adds up. Seeing the monthly and yearly total often comes as a surprise, and it helps when you are weighing up a move, a new job or a different car.
The calculator multiplies your round-trip distance by the number of workdays, then by your fuel consumption and the price per litre. A 40 km round trip, 22 days a month, at 6.5 L/100 km and €1.85 works out around €105 a month, or roughly €1,260 a year.
Because it separates the monthly and annual figures, you can quickly test how car-pooling, working from home a couple of days, or a more economical car would change the bill.
Use the round-trip distance — there and back — since that is what you actually drive each workday. If you enter one-way, double it first.
The biggest levers are fewer driving days (remote work, carpooling) and lower consumption (smoother driving, correct tyre pressure, less weight). Even one home-office day a week trims about 20% off commuting fuel.
