The true cost of commuting includes more than just gas. Key factors:

What's included in the IRS rate?

The IRS mileage rate covers fuel, depreciation, maintenance, insurance, and registration. We break out the main costs separately for clarity.

Should I use real MPG or EPA MPG?

Use your real-world MPG from tracking fill-ups. EPA estimates are often 10-20% optimistic, especially in city driving.

Is this useful for EVs?

For EVs, replace fuel cost with your electricity cost per kWh × miles/kWh. Maintenance is typically much lower for EVs.
