From margin to everyday money
The margin shows how much of each real you earn is left for you after paying all costs. Knowing your margin, at the end of each day you know how much is take-home — money you can spend on your bills — and how much you must set aside to pay the costs that come due during the month (rent or loan payment, insurance, vehicle tax, maintenance).
Owned car
- Fuel for the day —
- Set aside for monthly costs —
- Take-home for you to use —
Rented car
- Fuel for the day —
- Set aside for monthly costs —
- Take-home for you to use —
Watch out for days off: fixed costs arrive even if you drive less. If you work fewer days than planned, your margin drops — run the simulation again.
Practical tip: move the “set aside” part to a separate account at the end of each day. That way, when maintenance or rent is due, the money is already there.
For information only. Results depend on the values entered and do not account for income tax, fines, days off for repairs or changes in demand. Depreciation is estimated on the car's current value.
