Travel cost planner
Compare two trips with empty return, fuel, tolls, and expenses. See the formulas and download the scenarios.
How much does the empty return weigh on your trip? Compare two operations with your own data. The initial values are a hypothetical example, not a quote. No entered value is sent to TRRC.
Distribute each kilometer only once between loaded outbound, loaded return, and empty segments. Use average yield of the complete cycle; load, terrain, and driving can alter actual consumption.
The difference between results B and A is R$ 2.000,00. Also compare the costs and conditions of the operation before deciding.
How we calculate
Distance = loaded outbound + loaded return + empty. Liters = distance ÷ yield. Fuel = liters × price. Included costs = fuel + tolls + other expenses. Cost per km = included costs ÷ distance. Result = reported revenue − included costs.
Understand the example
In scenario A, 1,000 km at 2.5 km/l consume 400 liters. At R$ 6/l, the fuel costs R$ 2,400. With R$ 200 in tolls and R$ 300 in other expenses, R$ 2,900 are included, or R$ 2.90/km. The revenue of R$ 4,000 leaves R$ 1,100 before unreported costs. Scenario B maintains the same yield only to isolate the return revenue: an additional load may increase consumption and expenses.
What is still missing in your budget
The result is not net profit. Include in other expenses, when relevant, maintenance, tires, insurance, depreciation, financing, remuneration, waiting, loading/unloading, taxes, and administrative costs. Avoid adding expenses already included. Tolls are reported cash flow: the tool does not decide the legal responsibility for Vale-Pedágio nor calculate the minimum floor.
