* Actual costs may vary based on type of vehicle, individual driving habits, and other factors. The carpooling cost estimate assumes driving alone half the time and carpooling with one other person half the time. Carpooling more frequently or with more people would increase savings further. The figures used in this calculator were derived based on the average costs of driving a mid-sized sedan. For more details on the source of this data, refer to the Automobile Association of America's "Your Driving Costs 2012" (PDF). Transit costs are based on a $100 average cost for monthly transit passes along with a 10-mile roundtrip drive to/from the transit station or park-and-ride lot.
