What is a Fuel Cost Calculator?
A Fuel Cost Calculator helps you estimate the total money required for fuel (Petrol, Diesel, CNG, or Electric) for a specific trip. By entering the distance, your vehicle's mileage (fuel efficiency), and the current fuel price, you can plan your travel budget accurately. It is useful for daily commuters, road trips, and logistics planning.
How It Works
The calculator first determines the total fuel required by dividing the distance by the vehicle's mileage. Then, it multiplies the fuel quantity by the price per unit.
Fuel Required (Litres/Kg) = Distance / Mileage
Total Cost = Fuel Required * Fuel Price
Example Calculation
Scenario
You plan a road trip of 500 km. Your car gives a mileage of 15 km/l, and petrol price is ₹100/l.
- 1.Distance = 500 km
- 2.Mileage = 15 km/l
- 3.Fuel Required = 500 / 15 = 33.33 Litres
- 4.Fuel Price = ₹100/l
- 5.Total Cost = 33.33 * 100 = ₹3,333
Why This Tool is Useful

Tips & Comparison
- •Highway vs City: Vehicles usually give better mileage on highways than in city traffic. Adjust your mileage input accordingly.
- •AC Usage: Continuous use of Air Conditioning can reduce mileage by 10-20%.
- •Tyre Pressure: Maintaining correct tyre pressure improves fuel efficiency.
- •Carpooling: Sharing the ride significantly reduces the per-person fuel cost.
