Car Running Costs



About Our Running Costs Calculator

With our running costs calculator you can analyse costs over 1-5 years including depreciation, servicing and maintenance, tax disc, fuel and insurance.

You can also identify the most effective ownership period for your car over 1-5 years to optimise your car's running costs.

If you're looking at electric or hybrid car running costs then we recommend our e-Go! fuel analyser.

To get started just select a manufacturer, range and a model from the list boxes below.

We'll then show you information on the price of the car, plus delivery and other charges to get your car on the road.

If you have paid less than the manufacturer's published price for the car you can include your price in the calculations to make the results more personal.

To get help on any selections click on the '?' button in the top right of your screen.

Once you've selected the vehicle and chosen any options scroll down to see the running costs forecast.

Keep checking back to our site as we'll soon have running costs for business and personal contract hire.

Fuel & Insurance

Over a 5 year vehicle life-cycle the insurance and fuel costs don't normally change according to the vehicle's age, so we exclude them from the calculation, but you can opt to include them if you prefer.




Recoverable VAT

If you are a VAT registered business and can recover VAT on car maintenance, fuel costs and contract hire rentals (subject to current restrictions) then check this box to exclude recoverable VAT from the running costs calculations.

For outright purchase we've used:

  • The On-The-Road price of the car (including selected options but less the tax disc).
  • The tax disc (we've shown this separate to the On-The-Road Price as it's a recurring item over the 5 years of the analysis).
  • Independent industry forecasts of future car values to calculate the depreciation (price less forecast future value).
  • Forecast maintenance costs for servicing, tyres and mechanical repairs over the 5 years.
  • Optionally, you can include costs for fuel and insurance - just check the boxes above to include these items.

You can change the On-The-Road Price by typing a new value into the 'On-The-Road Price' box above (this does not affect the contract hire payments, which are calculated independently).

For business contract hire we've used:

  • The total contract hire monthly payments for the car with any selected options - we've calculated separate contracts for each period (e.g. 1 year, 2 years etc) because the monthly payments change according to the contract term and mileage.
  • Forecast maintenance costs for servicing, tyres and mechanical repairs over the 5 years.
  • Optionally, you can include costs for fuel and insurance - just check the box above to include these items.
Remember that contract hire payments already include the annual tax disc, so this isn't shown separately.

As contract hire normally requires a number of monthly payment to be made in advance at the start of the contract, we've assumed 3 payments in advance for each Replacement Term.

If you are a VAT registered business you can exclude recoverable VAT from the calculations by clicking on the box above.
