Truck Maintenance Cost per Mile and Reserve Calculator

Convert maintenance and tire spending into cost per mile and estimate a reserve for planned annual mileage.

Inputs

Historical maintenance costs and projected miles

Range: at least 0 $

Enter repair, preventive-maintenance, and tire costs for one truck or a consistently defined equipment group. Use the same history period as the mileage input and avoid double-counting costs included in another cost-per-mile calculation.

Range: at least 0.01 mi

Include loaded and empty miles for the same truck or equipment group and the exact period used for maintenance spending. Must be greater than zero.

Range: at least 0 mi/year

Enter projected total miles for the same truck or equipment scope. This scales the historical cost rate; it does not forecast breakdowns or future price changes.
