Fleet TCO Calculator
Calculate a vehicle's Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) — purchase price, running costs, and resale value — across its expected ownership period, to support replace-vs-keep and purchasing decisions.

Results
Figures are illustrative based on the inputs you provide. Adjust the numbers above to reflect your own fleet's actual costs for an accurate estimate.
How This Calculator Works
- Enter the purchase price and how long you expect to keep the vehicle.
- Enter annual fuel, maintenance, insurance, and licensing costs.
- Enter expected annual distance and the resale value you expect at the end of the ownership period.
- The calculator spreads every cost across the ownership period to show the true lifetime and average annual cost.
Formula
Running costs should include fuel, maintenance, insurance, and licensing across the full ownership period, not a single year's snapshot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does TCO matter more than the purchase price alone?
Two vehicles with similar purchase prices can have very different lifetime costs once running costs and resale value are factored in. TCO is the number that should actually drive a purchasing or replacement decision.
How do I estimate resale value?
Use current market data for similar vehicles at the age you plan to sell, or your finance/leasing provider's residual value estimate if the vehicle is financed.
Should I compare TCO across different vehicle models before buying?
Yes — comparing TCO, not just sticker price, across the models you're considering is the single most useful step before a fleet purchasing decision.
