Weekly, monthly, and annual totals — split between commuting and everything else.
Why your annual mileage matters
Insurers price a policy partly on how much you drive, a lease usually caps yearly mileage before charging an overage fee, and an EV buyer needs a real annual figure to judge whether a car's range is actually enough. All three start from the same number: how many miles you drive in a typical year.
Most people only know a rough odometer difference from one service to the next. Building the figure up from your commute, your regular errands, and the road trips you take gives a number you can trust — and lets you see which part of your driving actually adds up.
How this compares to average mileage
The average car in the United States covers roughly 12,000–15,000 miles a year; in the United Kingdom the average is closer to 7,000–8,000 miles. Those figures blend everyone from occasional drivers to long-distance commuters, so your own number is what actually matters for a quote, a lease, or a charging plan — use this calculator to get it rather than guessing from the average.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my mileage per year?
Multiply your one-way commute by 2 and by the days you commute each week, then by the weeks you actually work (excluding time off). Add your other regular weekly driving times 52, then add any road trips or holiday driving for the year. This calculator does that addition for you.
What counts as 'other driving'?
Anything outside the commute that happens most weeks — grocery runs, school pickups, social trips, and errands. Give a typical week's total; the calculator assumes it happens year-round, unlike the commute, which pauses for time off.
What's a normal annual mileage?
In the US, most drivers land between 12,000 and 15,000 miles a year; in the UK, between 7,000 and 8,000 miles. A long commute or frequent road trips can push you well above that — there's no single 'right' number.
Why do insurers and leases ask for this figure?
Insurers price risk partly on exposure — more miles generally means more risk — and lease agreements cap mileage because it affects the car's resale value. Both usually ask for your best annual estimate, which is exactly what this tool produces.
