True cost adds ~₹2.50/km for maintenance, tyres, and depreciation on top of fuel.

How commute cost works.

Round trip = One-way × 2 Annual km = Round trip × days/week × weeks/year Fuel cost = (Annual km ÷ km/l) × fuel price True cost = Fuel cost + (Annual km × ₹2.50 wear)

Frequently asked questions.

Should I factor in more than fuel?

Yes. Fuel is only part of the story - every commuting kilometre also wears tyres and brakes, adds oil changes, and depreciates the car. Budgeting an extra ₹2-3/km for these covers the "hidden" commute cost.

Would an EV cut my commute cost?

Usually a lot. Electricity typically costs 3-4x less per km than petrol, and EVs need far less maintenance. Charging at home overnight on a domestic tariff makes the difference even bigger.

How can I lower my commute cost?

Carpooling, combining errands, keeping tyres properly inflated, and driving smoothly all help. If you can work from home even one day a week, that's an instant 20% cut for a 5-day commuter.
