Uneven split: paying per mile
When passengers travel different distances, calculate the cost of each leg and divide that leg among the people in the car. Add each person’s share across their legs.
Frequently asked questions
How do you split gas money fairly?
Divide the shared fuel cost by the number of people, including the driver. Agree on tolls and parking before the trip.
Should the driver pay for gas?
There is no universal rule. An even split includes the driver, but your group can agree on a different arrangement.
How much is gas money per hour of driving?
Fuel cost depends on miles driven, MPG and gas price rather than time alone. Divide a known trip cost by hours for an hourly estimate.
What's a fair rate per mile for passengers?
Divide your shared trip cost by miles and the number of travelers. Vehicle wear and other costs are separate considerations.
Does it include tolls?
Add a known toll amount in the optional adjustments. If you do not know it, the estimate explicitly excludes tolls.
