Calculate daily, weekly, monthly, and annual UK commute fuel costs from one-way distance, fuel price, and MPG.
About this calculator
Estimates the cost of driving to work in the UK. Uses imperial gallons (4.546 litres) and pence-per-litre fuel pricing. Parking and London-style congestion charges are added per working day.
Cost breakdown
Note
This estimate covers fuel, parking, and congestion charges only. It does not include vehicle maintenance, insurance, road tax, or depreciation.

Transport
Calculate the daily, weekly, monthly, and annual fuel cost of your UK commute from one-way distance, fuel price in pence, and vehicle MPG.
Your one-way distance is doubled for the round trip, converted to litres using imperial gallons, and multiplied by the pence-per-litre fuel price. The daily cost is then projected over 5 days (weekly), 21.67 days (monthly), and 260 days (annual).
Car-sharing, working from home even one day a week, or switching to a more fuel-efficient vehicle can significantly reduce annual commuting expenditure.
Frequently asked questions
No — this calculator is designed for petrol or diesel vehicles using MPG and pence-per-litre. For EVs, use an electricity cost calculator instead.
Monthly cost = daily cost × 21.67, which represents 260 working days divided by 12 months.
