Tips for Better Wear Estimates
- •Use realistic current market value, not only insurer or dealer estimates.
- •Recalculate after major mileage changes or yearly valuation updates.
- •Combine wear-per-km with fuel and parking for true trip pricing.
- •Track separate maintenance costs to complete your full cost-per-km picture.

Why Use This Calculator
True Cost per Kilometer
See depreciation per km so your real driving cost includes wear, not just fuel and parking.
Better Trip Budgeting
Estimate how much value a planned trip consumes and budget transport costs more accurately.
Smarter Ownership Decisions
Track how vehicle value drops with mileage to compare keep-vs-sell scenarios with clearer numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
A practical method is total depreciation divided by driven kilometers. Total depreciation is purchase price minus current estimated value. This calculator performs that calculation automatically.
There is no single universal value. It depends on vehicle class, age, market demand, and mileage. Use your own purchase and current value data for a personal estimate.
If you want a realistic all-in driving cost, including wear is reasonable. Many people split only fuel and tolls, but depreciation is still a real ownership cost.
Yes. The method is value-based and works for EVs and combustion cars alike because it uses price loss over mileage, not fuel type.
Updating every few months or after major mileage changes keeps the estimate useful. Use recent market listings or valuation services for better accuracy.
By default, it estimates depreciation only. If you enable the advanced option, you can also include your own maintenance and repair estimate.
