What the commute costs
Three ways to get to the same place, each totalled over your real travel year: what a day costs, times the days you actually go, plus whatever the year adds on top — rego, insurance, servicing, a bike's upkeep. The three rows keep a fixed order and are never ranked; the arithmetic behind every total is written out beside it.
Nothing a day
Rego, insurance, servicing — the share you'd put on commuting
Nothing a day
A yearly pass or card fee, if any
Nothing a day
Tyres, servicing, wet-weather gear
Put in what each way of getting there costs. Nothing here is read from your accounts, and nothing is saved.

About this calculator
How is each way counted?
Cost a day × the days a week you travel × the weeks a year, plus any yearly extras. One formula, three ways, no rate and no curve — nothing you didn't type. The arithmetic behind each total is written out under its bar.
Why aren't the rows sorted by cost?
Sorting by cost is ranking, and ranking is a verdict. The rows keep a fixed order, the bars share one colour, and the widest gap is stated as bare arithmetic — what to do with it is yours.
