How to use this calculator
Add a leg for each stretch of your trip and enter its distance, then your fuel or electricity price and how many people are splitting the cost. The planner totals the distance, the fuel or energy needed, the total cost and the cost per person.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I calculate fuel cost for a road trip?
- Add up the distance of every leg, multiply by your vehicle’s fuel use per 100 km or mile, then by the price of fuel. This planner totals all your stops and shows the fuel needed, the total cost, and the cost split between passengers.
- Can I plan a multi-stop trip?
- Yes — add a leg for each stretch of the trip and the planner sums them. This is handy for road trips with several destinations or detours.
- Does it work for electric cars?
- Yes. For an EV it uses the vehicle’s kWh/100 rating and your electricity price to estimate the charging cost of the trip instead of gasoline.
