Route Optimisation Saving Calculator

Work out route optimisation saving instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Route Optimisation Saving Calculator

Route optimisation typically reduces distance by 10-20% against manually planned routes. The saving compounds across operating days, and the distance reduction also delivers proportional fuel, emissions and vehicle wear benefits beyond the direct cost per kilometre.

Formulas

Daily distance saved

Saved = Current route distance x Reduction %

Annual saving

Annual = Daily distance saved x Cost per km x Operating days

Worked example

With the default values below, Route Optimisation Saving Calculator returns Annual saving from route optimisation of $2,822,400.00. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation or tax into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 14% a realistic reduction?

Yes against manual planning. Against an already-optimised operation the incremental gain is usually 3-6%.

Does distance reduction always reduce cost proportionally?

Not entirely, because driver time may not fall in step. Time savings usually require reducing vehicle count, not just kilometres.
