Formula Used
Mileage Cost Calculation
For gas-powered vehicles:
Total Cost = (Miles Driven / Miles per Gallon) × Cost per Gallon
For electric vehicles:
Total Cost = (Miles Driven / Electric Range) × Cost per kWh
For hybrid vehicles, the calculation combines both fuel and electric components.
Assumptions
- All trips are for business or investment purposes
- Vehicle is in good working condition
- Fuel prices are current at time of calculation
- Electricity rates are residential rates
Worked Example
Let's calculate the mileage costs for a property manager who drives 1,200 miles per month in a gas-powered sedan with 28 miles per gallon and fuel costs $3.50 per gallon.
Example Calculation
Total Cost = (1,200 miles / 28 mpg) × $3.50/gal
= 42.857 gallons × $3.50/gal
= $150.00
This means the property manager spends $150 per month on fuel for their real estate driving, or $0.125 per mile.
