Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate fuel cost for a trip in Australia?

Fuel cost = distance (km) ÷ 100 × your car's consumption (L/100km) × the fuel price per litre. In Australia petrol is around $2/litre. TripKalc does this automatically for every leg of a multi-stop route.

What currency does the calculator use?

It auto-detects Australian users and pre-fills AUD, but you can pick any of 70+ currencies and set your own fuel price.

Does it work for diesel and electric vehicles?

Yes. Switch fuel type to compare petrol, diesel, and electric (kWh/100km with your local electricity rate) side by side.
