Cost per km

What your kilometre actually costs

Not the market average — yours: leasing, wages with your country's employer contributions, tyres, repairs, idling. And the minimum rate you must not go below.

01

Your numbers, not somebody else's

You enter what you know: the payment on the truck, the wage, the insurance, the repairs. Out comes one number you make decisions with every day. A market average will not pay your lease.

The same wage costs a different amount in each country

Employer contributions sit on top of the gross and they differ: Poland ~20%, Ukraine ~22%, Czechia ~34%. The service uses the rate of the country the company is registered in, not "roughly, for Europe".

A sole trader and a company are not taxed the same way

It is not a different rate, it is a different structure. A sole trader draws the profit in one layer. A company owner first employs himself and then pays again when taking it out. The same €4,000 wage becomes €4,800.

04

A dispatcher on a percentage breaks the arithmetic

If he takes 8% of the rate, your break-even is not your cost plus something — it is your cost DIVIDED by (1 − 8%). Here that is €1.24 against €1.37, and the market pays €1.20.

One figure in the wrong box and the service lies in your favour

The dangerous mistake is not the one that overstates cost, it is the one that understates it. A live row in our own database had 385,000 km in the MONTHLY field — that is an odometer. The service catches those and says so.
