Truck Ownership Cost Calculator

Range: at least 0 $

Enter the truck cost whose value is being spread over this holding period. This is an economic cost estimate, not the tax basis or amount financed.

Range: at least 0 $

Use your own expected sale value at the end of the same holding period; no market value is assumed. A resale value above purchase cost produces a negative annualized purchase cost.

Range: at least 0.01 years

Use the same period for resale value and annual operating-cost assumptions. The minimum is a mathematical guard against division by zero.

Range: at least 0.01 mi/year

Include loaded and deadhead miles for the same truck. Used to annualize per-mile costs and calculate total cost per mile.

Range: at least 0 $/year

Enter annual insurance, registration, permits, and other fixed costs for this truck. Include financing interest only if desired; do not include loan principal or costs included in per-mile inputs.

Range: at least 0.01 US MPG

Use measured miles per U.S. gallon for the same truck and operating mix. No default fleet benchmark is assumed.

Range: at least 0 $/US gal

Enter the average price paid for diesel in the same planning basis. This is not a live price feed and does not model taxes separately.

Range: at least 0 $/total mi

Enter your observed or planned maintenance and tire cost per total truck mile. Avoid including these costs again in annual fixed costs.
