Quick answer

Commute cost = distance there and back × office days × cost per km, plus parking. A 15 km each-way ride to office, 22 days a month, on a 45 km/l bike with petrol at ₹105 is 660 km and about ₹1,540 a month in fuel. A 15 km/l car on the same route costs about ₹4,620 in fuel, before parking. Enter the metro or cab fare instead to compare public transport.

Frequently asked questions

Is a bike cheaper than the metro?

On fuel alone, often yes, but add parking, servicing and insurance. For long distances the metro is usually cheaper and less tiring.

How do I find my real mileage?

Fill the tank, reset the trip meter, ride normally, then divide km by litres at the next fill.

Can my employer reimburse commute costs?

Some companies pay a conveyance allowance; check your salary slip and HR policy.
