Cost per Kilometer Calculator

Use fuel consumption and price together with insurance, vehicle tax, maintenance and other annual costs to estimate cost per kilometer, cost per 100 km, the monthly average, and the annual total cost.

Operating Cost Panel

Either monthly or annual distance is enough. If annual distance is entered, it takes priority. Enter your real-world average fuel consumption in liters per 100 km.

What is included?

Fuel cost is always calculated. In “Fuel + entered annual costs” mode, insurance, vehicle tax, maintenance, entered depreciation and other annual costs are added. Depreciation is not assumed automatically; financing and similar items can be added under “Other annual costs”.

Core usage inputs
Enter every cost in the same currency. This selector changes display formatting only; it does not convert existing values.
If annual distance is blank, this value is multiplied by 12.
If entered, this value is used instead of monthly distance.
Use your real-world average where possible; no extra driving factor is applied.
$
Enter the price you pay per liter of fuel.
Calculation scope & annual costs
In fuel-only mode, the annual costs below are excluded.

Vehicle cost for a specific distance

Apply the calculated cost per kilometer to any distance and see the fuel and non-fuel portions separately.

Calculate above first
km
Total vehicle cost
—
Fuel plus the per-kilometer share of the annual costs you included.
Fuel cost
—
The portion calculated from fuel consumption and fuel price.
Non-fuel portion
—
Insurance, tax, maintenance, depreciation and other entered annual costs allocated by distance.

How is cost per kilometer calculated?

Core formula

First, annual distance is determined. Annual fuel cost = annual distance × (L/100 km ÷ 100) × fuel price. In “Fuel + entered annual costs” mode, insurance, vehicle tax, maintenance, optional depreciation and other costs are added. Cost per kilometer = annual total cost ÷ annual distance; cost per 100 km is that result × 100.

How is the monthly cost calculated?

The monthly result is the annual total cost divided by 12. If annual distance is entered, it takes priority in the distance calculation.

How do I estimate the cost of a specific trip or distance?

After the main calculation, enter the total distance in “Vehicle cost for a specific distance.” The tool multiplies the calculated cost per kilometer by that distance and separates fuel from non-fuel cost.

Is this the same as total cost of ownership?

No. The result includes only the cost items you enter. Depreciation now has its own optional field; finance interest, parking or other costs can be entered under “Other annual costs” for a broader ownership-cost estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to enter annual distance?

No. If annual distance is blank, the calculator multiplies monthly distance by 12.

Why should I include fixed annual costs?

Insurance, vehicle tax, maintenance and other annual costs show the non-fuel portion of running the vehicle. Their cost per kilometer becomes more noticeable when annual distance is low.

Should I include vehicle depreciation?

If you want a broader ownership-cost estimate, enter your own estimate in the “Annual depreciation” field. The calculator does not assume a depreciation amount because it varies widely by vehicle and market.
