Where the starter numbers come from

• Pay and utilization presets are based on public driver forums and our running average of reported payouts. Update them if your market trends higher or lower.
• Fuel, electricity, and insurance costs begin with city averages sourced from AAA, local utilities, and Insurify benchmarks.
• Maintenance, depreciation, and tire estimates mirror Edmunds True Cost to Own® data for comparable vehicles.

Swap in your actual numbers whenever you have them. The closer you get to your real expenses, the more confidence you can have in the headline results.
