How Carpool Fuel Split Calculator Works
This tool works by adding fuel, tolls, and parking for a shared trip and dividing the total equally among the people in the car.
- Step 1
Enter the trip distance
Type the round-trip distance in miles or kilometers.
- Step 2
Enter vehicle and price
Type MPG or L/100 km and the fuel price.
- Step 3
Add shared costs
Add tolls and parking shared by the group.
- Step 4
Enter riders
Choose whether the driver pays a share, then read the cost per person.
Carpool Fuel Split Calculator Formula
The formula divides total shared cost by the number of people paying.
Fuel Cost = (Distance ÷ MPG) × Price
Shared Cost = Fuel Cost + Tolls + Parking
Cost per Person = Shared Cost ÷ People Paying
- People Paying
- = riders who share the cost, with or without the driver
Worked Example
- 3 coworkers share a 60-mile (97 km) round trip in a 28 MPG car with gas at $3.50 and $6.00 parking.
- Fuel cost = (60 ÷ 28) × $3.50 = $7.50.
- Shared cost = $7.50 + $6.00 = $13.50.
- Cost per person = $13.50 ÷ 3 = $4.50 per day.
