RoadEdge calculator

Cost per mile calculator

Add your fuel, fixed, and variable trip costs, then divide by the miles you expect to run. The sample values show how the math works before you enter your own numbers.

Trip costs
Guided example: a 2,500-mile load with realistic trip costs.

Total fuel cost for the trip, in dollars.

Trip share of fixed operating costs, in dollars.

Maintenance, tolls, and other trip costs, in dollars.

Total miles for the trip.

Your estimate
Use this figure as a starting point for load decisions.

Cost per mile

$1.00 per mile

Total trip cost: $2,500.00

$2,500.00 total trip cost ÷ 2,500 miles = $1.00 per mile.

This is an arithmetic estimate based on the totals you enter. It does not include a recommendation about what to charge for a load.
