All results are indicative — not guarantees of loans, premiums, fuel bills or resale.

Cost per kilometre is the fairest way to compare a low-km city runabout with a highway miler. Fuel-only calculators hide depreciation.

We divide indicative net ownership by total kilometres over your horizon. Label every result estimated.

cost_per_km = net_ownership ÷ (annual_km × years).

Insurance, service and repair reserves use your inputs or site default percentages.
Resale residual is an assumption, not a live market bid.
All totals are indicative estimates — not guarantees of future costs.

Why is my ₹/km high?

Low annual km spreads fixed costs (depreciation, insurance) over fewer kilometres. Raising km usually lowers ₹/km but raises total fuel.

Can I compare EV and petrol fairly?

Yes — use matching horizons and honest energy prices. Capital premium still flows through depreciation.
