Calculator inputs and results

What are you traveling to buy?

Choose a situation, then enter your own prices and travel conditions.

Current comparisonGrocery run

Compare a nearby market with a distant discount store.

Enter comparison details

Blank optional costs count as zero. Example values are not current prices.

Input method

Product price difference

Price basis

Travel added beyond the baseline choice

Comparison baseline

Enter the full round-trip distance and time created by this purchase.

Transport and rates

Transport

Value of time

Time-cost method

Examples are fictional values that explain the calculation, not current fuel, charging, or retail prices.

Result

See how far choice B compares with baseline choice A after travel and time.

Enter values and press calculate.

Start with the two product prices, calculate, then add travel costs and time value as needed.

Calculation basis

Final saving = product price difference − added cash cost − added time value

Inputs are calculated only on this screen and are not stored or sent to a server.

Formula and assumptions

Read cash savings separately from the economic result including time. Time value is optional. Near break-even, small measurement errors can reverse the decision, so review the break-even limits too.

Final savings = price discount versus the nearby option − extra cash travel cost − extra time value. In quick mode, enter only distance, time, and direct costs added beyond the nearby choice; detailed mode totals A and B independently.

Why the result can vary

Observed efficiency, traffic, parking, tolls, quantity, return risk, quality differences, and the personal value assigned to time all change real savings.

Example

Drive to a warehouse store

Inputs: 120,000 nearby, 95,000 farther away, 35 extra km and 50 extra minutes, fuel, tolls, and optional time value

Outcome: Subtract added travel and time from the 25,000 price discount to show final savings or loss and a break-even distance.

Cautions

  • Presets are editable demonstrations, not current fuel, charging, taxi, or product prices.
  • Consider unentered differences such as quality, warranty, return cost, safety, and travel fatigue before deciding.

Frequently asked questions

Should distance be the full round trip?

Quick mode expects distance added beyond the nearby choice. If the nearby option needs no trip and this purchase causes the whole journey, the full round trip is the extra distance.

Must I put a price on my time?

No. Choose not to include it for a cash-only result. When included, cash savings and the time-inclusive result remain separate.

Does the calculator invent vehicle depreciation?

No. If desired, enter your own per-kilometer maintenance amount for tires and consumables.
