We summarize publicly available data — no scraping, no external API calls. Figures are calibrated periodically; use the calculators above for your exact inputs.
The IRS standard mileage rate (around 67¢ per mile in recent years) is a good benchmark. Your actual number depends on your vehicle, insurance premium, and how many miles you drive each year — fixed costs hurt low-mileage drivers more.
Run two scenarios with different vehicles or commute lengths to see which is actually cheaper to own. A more efficient car often pays back its higher purchase price within a few years for high-mileage drivers.
Most US drivers spend $0.45–$0.75 per mile when all costs are included. Fuel-efficient compact cars sit lower; trucks and SUVs sit higher.
A common approximation is the difference between purchase price and resale value divided by years owned. New cars depreciate fastest in years 1–3.
If you're financing, yes — add the annual interest portion (or full payment) to the maintenance or depreciation field for a true picture.
