How this calculator works
Annual distance = entered distance × periods per year (365 daily, 52 weekly, 12 monthly, 1 yearly). Litres = kilometres ÷ km/L. Cost = litres × price per litre.

Worked example
At 12,000 km/year, 12 km/L and 1.50 per litre, annual fuel cost is 1,500. At 14 km/L it is 1,285.71, a saving of 214.29 in the same currency.
Before you act on the result
Use realistic local prices and your measured consumption where possible. Figures are scenario estimates, not forecasts. Fuel prices, electricity tariffs, driving conditions and ownership expenses can change. The selected currency labels your figures; it does not convert them.
Frequently asked questions
Does daily distance mean working days?
No. Daily means all 365 days. For commuting, enter your weekly total or annual distance after allowing for holidays.
Does changing currency convert prices?
No. The selector labels your inputs and results. Enter prices in the selected currency; no exchange-rate conversion is performed.
