About Drive Time Calculator
The Drive Calculator helps you plan your trips by estimating travel distance, driving time, fuel consumption, and trip cost. Whether you're preparing for a long road trip or calculating your daily commute expenses, this tool provides quick and accurate insights.
How to Use the Drive Calculator
Input the following details:
- Start and destination location
- Average driving speed
- Fuel efficiency (mpg or km/l)
- Fuel price per liter/gallon
The tool will calculate:
- Total distance
- Estimated driving time
- Total fuel needed
- Estimated fuel cost
Drive Calculation Formulas
1. Driving Time
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
2. Fuel Needed
Fuel = Distance ÷ Fuel Efficiency
3. Fuel Cost
Fuel Cost = Fuel × Fuel Price
Example
Distance: 300 km
Speed: 60 km/h
Efficiency: 15 km/l
Fuel Price: ₹100/l
→ Time = 300 ÷ 60 = 5 hours
→ Fuel = 300 ÷ 15 = 20 liters
→ Cost = 20 × 100 = ₹2,000
Common Use Cases
- Road trip planning
- Budgeting travel expenses
- Daily work commute cost
- Fleet management & delivery planning
- Eco-driving and route optimization
