Calculate the costs of carpooling and share fuel and wear costs among passengers.
The Carpool Cost Calculator calculates the driving costs of a shared trip and divides them among individuals. It includes fuel and vehicle wear so that the driver does not incur a loss.
The calculator is free, works in your browser without registration, and shows the result as soon as you change the values. The calculation is done on your own device, and the information you enter is not sent anywhere.
Fuel cost = distance × consumption / 100 × fuel price. Total cost = fuel cost + distance × wear cost. Per person = total cost / number of people.
A one-way trip of 120 kilometers round trip, consumption 6.5 l/100 km, $1.85/l, and $0.10/km wear for three people: the cost is about 20 euros per person. With default values, the calculator gives a result of: Cost per person $17.62.

Yes, the calculator divides the costs equally among everyone, including the driver.
It covers tires, maintenance, depreciation, and other operating costs. A typical value is $0.05–$0.15/km.
In carpooling, costs are usually shared equally. Mileage reimbursement may be taxable if you are driving for profit.
