Calculators to know whether driving is worth it

Simple tools to calculate whether saving a few cents per liter is actually worth it and how much driving really costs.

Start by calculating your real cost per kilometer and use that number to decide whether it is worth taking a detour for cheaper fuel or shopping somewhere else.

Calculate whether cheaper fuel is worth the detour, how much your car costs per kilometer, and whether driving farther to save on shopping makes sense.

1. Calculate your real monthly car cost

Estimate how much your car costs per month and per year including fuel, insurance, maintenance, taxes and depreciation.

2. Calculate your real cost per km

Estimate how much each kilometer costs you including fuel, wear and maintenance.

3. Check whether a cheaper gas station is worth the detour

Calculate the real savings of driving to a cheaper gas station based on consumption, fuel price, detour and liters.

4. Check whether driving to another supermarket is worth it

Evaluate whether the savings on shopping offset the cost of driving there.
