How to use this calculator

Estimate car ownership cost from your purchase price, estimated resale value, distance, energy use, and annual costs. Resale value is your scenario; depreciation is spread evenly over the selected holding period.

The example values are illustrative. Replace them with your own inputs and check the assumptions shown with the result.

Calculation from your inputs only. Example values are hypothetical; no current rate, tax rule, vehicle market value, or utility schedule is fetched.
