Calculate the True Cost of Car Ownership

The purchase price is just the beginning. Fuel, insurance, tax, MOT, servicing, depreciation, and repairs all add up to a figure that often surprises car owners. Our running cost calculators help you see the full picture before you buy, and track costs once you own.

Depreciation is typically the single biggest cost of car ownership. Our depreciation calculator uses industry-standard formulas to estimate value loss over any period, helping you choose cars that hold their value. Combined with the cost per mile calculator, you can see exactly what each journey truly costs.

Deciding between leasing and buying? Our lease vs buy calculator compares the total outlay including deposit, monthly payments, balloon payments, and residual value to show you which option makes financial sense for your situation. Factor in UK vehicle excise duty with our car tax calculator and you have a complete financial overview.
