Road Trip Cost Calculator — Formula

## How to Estimate Road Trip Cost

Add up fuel, tolls, lodging, and food expenses for the full trip.

### Formula

**Fuel = Total Miles / MPG x Gas Price**

**Total = Fuel + Tolls + (Hotel Nights x Rate) + (Days x Food Budget)**

Esempio Risolto

800-mile round trip, 28 MPG, $3.50/gal, $30 tolls, 2 nights at $120, $50/day food, 3 days.

  1. Fuel = 800 / 28 x $3.50 = $100.00
  2. Tolls = $30.00
  3. Lodging = 2 x $120 = $240.00
  4. Food = 3 x $50 = $150.00
  5. Total = $100 + $30 + $240 + $150 = $520
