About OwnerCosts

At OwnerCosts, we believe car ownership decisions should be made with complete financial transparency. Too many people focus only on the purchase price or monthly payment, missing the bigger picture of true ownership costs.

Our comprehensive car cost calculator helps you understand the real financial impact of owning a vehicle. We factor in:

• Maintenance & Repairs: Based on make, model, and age
• Insurance Costs: Category-specific estimates
• Depreciation: Real resale value projections
• Operating Expenses: Fuel, parking, registration
• Electric Vehicle Support: Compare EVs with gas cars fairly

After realizing that my "affordable" used car actually cost me over $17 per day to own, I wanted to create a tool that would help others avoid the same financial surprises. Our calculator gives you the complete picture before you buy.

We use industry data and real-world cost analysis to provide accurate estimates. Our calculations are based on:

• Historical maintenance data by vehicle category
• Insurance industry averages adjusted for vehicle age
• Current market depreciation trends
• Regional cost variations

We're constantly updating our algorithms to provide the most accurate cost projections possible.

OwnerCosts is completely free to use. We believe everyone deserves access to transparent car cost information to make better financial decisions. No hidden fees, no premium tiers, no ads - just honest cost calculations.
