Cost per Fuel Tax Calculator
Explanation
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 §§
