About this tool
Turn your daily office commute into monthly and yearly fuel, toll and parking spend using your real mileage and fuel price.
The Daily Commute Fuel Cost Calculator converts a daily office commute into monthly and yearly running cost using the basic fuel identity: litres = distance ÷ mileage in km/l, and fuel cost = litres × pump price. It adds toll and parking paid per commute day, and converts weekly commute days to monthly using the calendar average of 4.33 weeks per month rather than a rounded four. The result is the all-in cost per km, per day, per month and per year for anyone deciding between driving, carpooling, public transport or a change of vehicle.

Enter "One-way distance (km)", "Commute days per week", "Vehicle mileage (km per litre)" and "Fuel price (per litre)", plus "Toll per commute day" and "Parking per commute day".
Leave "I drive back the same way (round trip)" ticked to count the return leg; commute days per week are converted at 52/12 = 4.33 weeks a month, so a five-day week becomes 21.67 days.
"Commute cost per month" heads the result, with Fuel burnt per month, Toll + parking per month, All-in cost per km and Total cost per year beneath, and "What if mileage improved?" prices a different km/l. "Copy result" copies the summary.
Uses the km/l you actually get, so the monthly figure matches your pump bills.
Daily gate charges are counted per commute day, not ignored as rounding.
Shows the yearly number that makes a vehicle or route change easy to justify.
Multiply the daily distance by commute days in the month, divide by your mileage in km/l, then multiply by the fuel price. For a 36 km round trip at 16 km/l on 21.67 days a month with fuel at ₹105/l, that is 780 km ÷ 16 = 48.75 litres, or about ₹5,119 a month.
A five-day week averages 21.67 commute days a month, because a year has 52 weeks spread over 12 months (52 ÷ 12 = 4.33 weeks). Using 22 days overstates a full year of commuting by roughly 4 days, and using 20 understates it.
Fuel cost per km is simply the pump price divided by your mileage. At ₹105 a litre, a car doing 16 km/l costs ₹6.56 per km in fuel, a 45 km/l motorcycle costs ₹2.33 per km, and toll or parking is added on top per commute day.
No — it covers fuel, toll and parking only. Insurance, periodic service, tyres, and depreciation typically add a similar amount again over a year, so treat this as the variable running cost rather than total cost of ownership.
