AutoTCO shows what a car really costs, not just the price on the window.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) adds up everything you pay to buy, own and run a car over the years you keep it, then subtracts what it is worth when you are done. The purchase price alone rarely tells the real story: fuel or electricity, insurance, maintenance, tires, taxes, financing and depreciation often decide which car is actually cheaper.

WHAT YOU GET
• Compare up to 6 cars side by side, or check a single car on its own.
• Only two inputs are required: how long you will keep the car and how far you drive each year. Everything else is optional.
• Buy or lease: leasing has its own step with monthly rent, fees and an optional buyout.
• Results three ways: total over your ownership period, per year (and per month), and per mile or kilometer.
• See the cheapest car at a glance and where the gap comes from: acquisition, depreciation, ownership costs, running costs, taxes and fees.
• A cost-over-time chart shows the year one car starts paying off against another.
• Nothing hidden: every result comes with a plain-language log of what was assumed and what you left blank.
