Formula Used
Toll Cost Calculation
The estimated toll cost is calculated using the following formula:
Toll Cost = Distance × Toll Rate × Vehicle Factor
Where:
- Distance - The length of your trip in miles
- Toll Rate - The average toll rate per mile for the selected toll road
- Vehicle Factor - A multiplier based on your vehicle type
The vehicle factors are as follows:
- Car: 1.0 (base rate)
- Truck: 1.2 (20% higher)
- Motorcycle: 0.8 (20% lower)
- RV: 1.1 (10% higher)
Worked Examples
Example 1: Car on I-95 Toll Road
Scenario: A car travels 100 miles on the I-95 toll road.
Calculation:
Toll Cost = 100 miles × $0.20/mile × 1.0 = $20.00
Estimated toll cost: $20.00
Example 2: Truck on I-80 Toll Road
Scenario: A truck travels 150 miles on the I-80 toll road.
Calculation:
Toll Cost = 150 miles × $0.25/mile × 1.2 = $45.00
Estimated toll cost: $45.00
