How this works and common questions

About this tool

The fee adds distance times your cost for that distance, time on the road at your hourly rate, and a first block at the same rate. You type every figure.

How it works

The fee adds three parts: distance times your cost for that distance, time on the road times your hourly rate, and a first block of work times the same rate. Money is rounded half up to the cent.

Rules

You type the distance cost. This page does not insert a mileage rate. A blank first block counts as zero.
