Calculator

Use the fuel cost calculator

Estimate fuel spend from distance, efficiency and fuel price.

Distance (miles)

Trip distance in miles

Fuel efficiency (mpg)

Vehicle efficiency in miles per gallon

Fuel price per litre (£)

Pump price per litre

Enter your values to see the result.

How it works

Fuel used = distance ÷ mpg. Convert gallons to litres, then multiply by price per litre.

What this helps with

Use this tool for a fast estimate before checking a full spreadsheet, payslip, quote or planning document.

Worked example

A 120-mile trip at 40 mpg and £1.50 per litre costs about £20.46 in fuel.

Best use

Compare scenarios quickly by changing one or two inputs at a time.

Why use litres and mpg together?

That is common in UK car discussions, so the tool converts automatically.

Does this include traffic or driving style?

No. It uses the efficiency figure you enter.
