Compare subscriptions, mileage caps, fees, and fuel instantly. View totals, averages, break-even points, and savings. Choose the lowest realistic driving cost with clarity today.
The calculator applies subscription tax only to the subscription base charges and start fee. Ownership is modeled using recurring operating costs, registration, and monthly depreciation.
| Scenario | Monthly Fee or Payment | Upfront | Monthly Miles | Total Cost over 24 Months | Effective Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CityFlex | $899.00 | $499.00 | 1,200 | $33,911.38 | $1,412.97 |
| OpenRoad Plus | $1,049.00 | $299.00 | 1,200 | $35,560.38 | $1,481.68 |
| Traditional Ownership | $610.00 payment | $3,500.00 | 1,200 | $38,420.00 | $1,600.83 |
This example uses the default values already loaded in the form. Change mileage, fees, and depreciation to match your own situation.
It compares two car subscription plans against a traditional ownership baseline. It estimates total cost, effective monthly cost, cost per mile, discounted cost, and potential savings over your chosen period.
Mileage caps can change subscription economics quickly. If you drive more than the included miles, overage charges can erase the convenience advantage of a subscription plan.
Depreciation reflects the vehicle’s value loss over time. Ignoring it can make ownership look cheaper than it really is, especially during the first years of use.
NPV means net present value. It discounts future monthly costs into today’s money, helping you compare options more realistically when your time horizon is long.
Yes, unless your subscription price already includes fuel or charging. Add only the costs you will actually pay out of pocket to avoid double counting.
Yes. Enter charging costs instead of fuel costs. You can also use extras for public charging memberships, battery-related services, or bundled convenience fees.
Break-even estimates when one option’s higher upfront cost is offset by lower monthly costs. It helps you see whether a cheaper long-term choice fits your ownership timeline.
Mileage, monthly fee, depreciation, and insurance usually have the biggest effect. Small changes in these fields can shift the cheapest option significantly.
