Calculate the real monthly cost of owning a car, not just what you spend on fuel.
Enter your mileage, fuel consumption, insurance, maintenance, taxes and depreciation to estimate how much your car costs per month, per year and per kilometer.
The real cost of a car is not just fuel. You also need to include insurance, maintenance, taxes, inspection, depreciation and, if applicable, financing. That is why two cars with the same fuel consumption can have very different monthly costs.
This calculator gives you a quick and realistic estimate. It does not replace exact accounting, but it helps you see how much owning a car really costs and which part of the cost weighs the most.
The monthly cost lets you compare the car with other fixed expenses. The yearly cost shows the total impact on your budget. The cost per kilometer helps you evaluate specific trips, detours to cheaper gas stations or drives to save money on shopping.
It depends heavily on usage, insurance, the type of car and depreciation. For many private cars, the real cost can be much higher than the monthly fuel bill once insurance, maintenance and taxes are included.
Because even if you do not pay it every month, your car loses value over time. If you buy a car for one amount and sell it years later for less, that difference is also part of the real cost of owning it.
For car usage, yearly mileage is usually more practical because insurance, maintenance and inspections are often considered yearly. The monthly result is more useful to understand the impact on your budget.
Yes. You can change consumption, insurance, maintenance and depreciation to compare two different cars and see which one has a lower monthly cost beyond the purchase price.
