Calculators for UK Transport & Logistics

Transport and logistics — from HGV and van fleets to taxi, courier and gig-economy drivers — is a sector where running costs and fuel dominate the numbers. Fuel is the single biggest variable expense, so MPG, pence-per-mile and fuel-cost calculations directly affect profitability and quotes. Owner-drivers and self-employed couriers handle their own self-assessment, deciding what counts as an allowable expense and whether to claim the 45p/25p business mileage rates or actual vehicle costs. VAT-registered hauliers reclaim input VAT on fuel and repairs, while road tax (Vehicle Excise Duty) varies sharply by vehicle type, weight and emissions, and HGVs face their own VED bands. The shift toward electric vans and trucks brings new running-cost and tax considerations. Employed drivers focus on take-home pay, overtime, night-shift premiums and the impact of any company-vehicle benefit. These calculators help drivers, owner-operators and logistics firms work out fuel costs, mileage, tax and net pay accurately.
