Cost per mile calculator

Your all-in cost per mile: fixed costs spread over the miles you run, plus what every mile costs to drive.

How it's worked out

fixed per mile    = fixed costs per month ÷ miles per month
fuel per mile     = diesel price ÷ miles per gallon
variable per mile = driver pay + fuel + maintenance + tolls and other
cost per mile     = fixed per mile + variable per mile

What goes in fixed costs

Anything you pay whether the truck moves or not: truck and trailer payments or lease, insurance, permits and registration, ELD and software, and your share of office overhead.

Count every mile

Use total miles, loaded and empty. Deadhead burns fuel and wears the truck the same as a loaded mile.

Per truck or per fleet

Run it once per truck to find the expensive one, then once for the fleet to price loads.

Want it by truck, driver and lane?

The cost-per-mile review builds this from your own books and fuel data, with a written report and a spreadsheet model.
