Toll vs Free Route Comparison

Toll roads save time but cost more. Comparing total costs (tolls plus fuel) against the free alternative helps you decide.

Formula

Toll Route Cost = (Number of Tolls x Average Toll) + (Toll Miles / MPG x Gas Price)

Free Route Cost = Free Miles / MPG x Gas Price

Divide the cost difference by the time saved to get your effective "hourly wage" for taking the toll road.

Exemple Résolu

4 tolls at $3.50 average, toll route 200 miles, free route 230 miles, 28 MPG, $3.50/gal.

  1. Total tolls = 4 x $3.50 = $14.00
  2. Toll fuel cost = 200 / 28 x $3.50 = $25.00
  3. Toll total = $14.00 + $25.00 = $39.00
  4. Free fuel cost = 230 / 28 x $3.50 = $28.75
  5. Toll premium = $39.00 - $28.75 = $10.25 more for toll route
