About GigCost Beta

GigCost helps drivers estimate what their vehicles cost per mile—without a spreadsheet or receipts. It started with the needs of rideshare and delivery drivers, and may eventually be useful to a wider range of vehicle owners.

How it works

Select your vehicle's year, make, model and current odometer mileage. GigCost uses U.S. EPA vehicle efficiency ratings and EIA national energy prices to estimate fuel or electricity expense. It also includes modeled allowances for routine maintenance, tires, repairs, depreciation, insurance and fees.

What the estimate means

The result is an estimate of the total allocated cost per mile, using an assumed 30,000 total miles driven annually. It is not the incremental cost of accepting one extra trip, and it is not a verified vehicle-specific repair forecast. Repairs and depreciation are general models rather than individual-car data. Your actual results may differ substantially.

Loan interest, tax on earnings, tolls, parking, cleaning, downtime, and driver time are excluded. Local energy prices, driving style, vehicle condition and insurance may also differ from national averages.

Our sources

Vehicle efficiency: U.S. EPA. Energy prices: U.S. EIA fuel data and EIA electricity data. Other allowances are disclosed with each estimate; the ForCar listing dataset is market context only, not used for depreciation calculations.
