Compare entered taxi journey costs using the units and assumptions shown without fetching prices.
How the calculation works
Cost per mile = entered total cost ÷ miles travelled. Use an entered taxi fare with a consistent treatment of booking fees, waiting, extras and tips. Local tariffs, meter increments, live quotes and surge pricing are not retrieved. Only costs included in the total are represented; this is an average, not a marginal or quoted tariff. Amounts use the selected currency’s standard minor units; halfway amounts round away from zero and nonzero subminor values are identified. Currency selection labels values without an exchange rate.
Example
Worked example (GBP): Total Taxi Fare = 36; Miles Travelled = 12. Result: £3.00 per mile.
Practical tip
Use cost and distance for the same period and travel legs, including return legs consistently.
Frequently asked questions
Which costs belong in the total?
Include the costs that answer your comparison, then use the same scope for each option. Fuel-only and all-in totals should not be silently compared as equivalent.
Are prices, exchange rates or charges fetched?
Use an entered taxi fare with a consistent treatment of booking fees, waiting, extras and tips. Local tariffs, meter increments, live quotes and surge pricing are not retrieved. Select one currency for all amounts; changing it labels the figures without applying an exchange rate.
How are currency results rounded?
Exact entered decimal arithmetic is applied before display rounding to the selected currency’s standard minor units. Halfway amounts round away from zero; nonzero subminor amounts are identified. Per-distance results are rounded average rates, not a reconciled payment schedule.
