How to use this tool

  1. Enter extra km, litres 100, fuel price, extra minutes, hour value, toll.
  2. Use consistent units shown beside each input. Run the calculation and review the assumptions below.

Try this example

{
  "extra_km": 35,
  "litres_100": 7,
  "fuel_price": 1.8,
  "extra_minutes": 25,
  "hour_value": 12,
  "toll": 15
}

Accuracy and scope

Compares only the detour’s additional fuel and time with one toll. Constant consumption and user-valued time; excludes traffic variability, vehicle wear and route restrictions.
