How to calculate the total cost of fuel including taxes?

The total cost of fuel can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = V \times P \times (1 + \frac{T}{100}) §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost of fuel
  • § V § — volume of fuel (in liters)
  • § P § — price per liter (in your selected currency)
  • § T § — tax rate (as a percentage)

This formula allows you to calculate how much you will spend on fuel after including the tax.

Example:

  • Fuel Volume (§ V §): 50 liters
  • Price per Liter (§ P §): €1.5
  • Tax Rate (§ T §): 20%

Total Cost:

§§ C = 50 \times 1.5 \times (1 + \frac{20}{100}) = 50 \times 1.5 \times 1.2 = €90 §§
