Route cost calculator and fleet cost calculator
This route cost calculator multiplies trip miles by a cost per mile you enter and adds tolls. The fleet cost calculator multiplies each vehicle's fixed annual cost plus annual miles times the same cost per mile, then multiplies by the number of vehicles. The cost per mile is an estimate you enter. Dengaro does not finance trucks today.

How it works
A trip is miles times your cost per mile, plus extras.
Four hundred miles at $1.85 per mile plus $40 of tolls is $780. Six vehicles with a $15,000 fixed cost each and 80,000 miles at $1.85 are $163,000 per vehicle, or $978,000 for the fleet. The $1.85 has to be your number. Fuel, maintenance, and tires might be inside it. If the fixed cost also contains those, you will double count. Decide what the per-mile figure includes before you add a fixed cost. This fleet cost calculator does not depreciation-schedule a vehicle and does not know a fuel price.

Example
400 miles at $1.85, $40 tolls, 6 vehicles, 80,000 miles, $15,000 fixed.
The route cost calculator shows $780 for the trip. The fleet line shows $978,000 a year. Change the cost per mile and both lines move.

Tips
Say what the per-mile cost includes.
A fuel-only figure plus a fixed cost that also has fuel will overstate the fleet. A full operating cost per mile plus a fixed cost that is only insurance and registration is easier to defend. Write the definition next to the result.

Important questions
Know what to expect.
Does the fleet line include the trip tolls?+
No. Tolls are added only to the trip. The fleet line is vehicles times fixed cost plus annual miles times the cost per mile.
Is $1.85 a standard mileage rate?+
No. It is a placeholder. It is not an IRS rate and not a Dengaro rate. Type the cost per mile your books support.
Why is the fleet number so much larger than the trip?+
The trip is 400 miles once. The fleet line is six vehicles at 80,000 miles each, plus fixed cost. They answer different questions on purpose.
Can I leave tolls at zero?+
Yes. Tolls only add to the trip. They are not multiplied across the fleet.
