Amounts are calculated at full precision, then displayed to the nearest penny. Rounded contributions may differ from the total by a few pence.

How it works

Fuel: total miles ÷ UK MPG × 4.54609 × fuel price in pence ÷ 100.

Journey total: fuel + (total miles × wear and tear in £/mile) + both parking fees + other costs. Divide this by the number of people sharing.

Agree contributions before travelling. The wear allowance is your own estimate of the car’s running costs. The example figures are illustrative, rather than current fuel prices.
