Yearly mileage from two readings
Enter two odometer readings and the days between them. Read both from the dashboard of the same car.
You drive about 15,000 km per year.
| Driven between readings | 15,000 km |
|---|---|
| Per day | 41 km |
| Per year | 15,000 km |
A year counts as 365 days here.
How it works
Km per day = (second reading minus first reading) ÷ days between them. Km per year = km per day × 365.
Example
First reading 20,000 km, second 35,000 km, 365 days apart. (35,000 − 20,000) ÷ 365 = about 41 km per day. That times 365 = 15,000 km per year.
Insurers often ask for the yearly figure when you take out a policy. How kilometre pricing uses it is in Pay per km car insurance. Where the readings come from is in Odometer readings for insurance.
Questions
What if the second reading is lower than the first?
Then at least one reading is wrong. An odometer only counts up, so a falling series means a typo or a replaced counter. The RDW calls a rising series logical. Check both readings before you use the result.
How exact is the yearly figure?
It spreads what you drove evenly across the year. If you drive more in summer than in winter, a short winter period gives a low total for the whole year.
