How this works and common questions

About this tool

The price is time times your rate, plus distance times the travel rate you type, plus extras. Sitting, boarding, and walking use the same sum. A simple estimate, not advice. Nothing you type is stored or sent.

How it works

5.0 hours at $18.00 is $90.00. Travel of 12.0 km at $0.70 is $8.40. Extras of $8.00 make $106.40. Boarding and walking use the same steps with the time and rate you type.

Rules

You type the rate and the travel rate. This page does not suggest a market rate. Metric kilometres are selected at the start. A simple estimate, not advice.
