Used to calculate cost per productive distance unit
Simple Fleet Estimate
Use this for a fast fleet budget estimate. Simple mode assumes standard controller-style defaults for insurance, maintenance, downtime, and disposal.
How many similar vehicles are in the fleet
Choose whether the fleet is owned, financed, or leased
Complex Fleet Analysis
Use this when you need controller-grade inputs for fleet budgeting, financing, energy volatility, downtime, and disposal planning.

Save at least two scenarios, then compare your current fleet against a proposed replacement.
Why This Fleet Calculator Is Useful
Built for Fleet Decisions
This tool helps business owners, finance teams, controllers, and operations managers compare the real cost of fleet options, not just sticker price. It models purchase, finance, lease, fuel, electricity, registration, insurance, maintenance, downtime, utilisation, road-user charges, and disposal recovery.
Decision Features
Scenario comparison: Save local scenarios and compare fleet options side by side.
Replacement timing helper: Compare 3 to 7 year replacement cycles using the same cost assumptions.
Current vs proposed fleet: Compare saved scenarios to see monthly budget difference, annual saving, break-even point, energy change, and downtime change.
Break-even point: Estimate the months, years, and distance needed for a higher-upfront proposed fleet to pay back through lower operating costs.
Sensitivity stress test: Move fuel, distance, disposal, interest, maintenance, and downtime assumptions to see which uncertainty matters most.
Cost-driver summary: See which categories move the budget most.
Assumption checks: Flag unusual inputs such as long loans, low utilisation, high resale assumptions, or high downtime.
Metric and imperial support: Use miles/gallons or kilometres/litres.
