Taxi / Ride Fare Estimator
Estimate your taxi or ride-hailing fare based on distance, base fare, per-unit rate, and surge pricing.
Supports km and miles.
Estimated Fare
Taxi/ride fare is typically calculated as:
Fare = Base Fare + (Distance × Per-Unit Rate) × Surge Multiplier
Distance units:
- km — used in most countries worldwide
- miles — used in US, UK, and a few other countries
What affects your fare:
- Base fare: The starting charge when you enter the vehicle
- Per km/mile rate: Charged for each unit of distance
- Surge/peak pricing: Multiplier during high-demand periods (1.0 = no surge)
- Wait time: Some services charge for time spent in traffic (not included here)
Typical surge multipliers:
- Normal: 1.0×
- Moderate demand: 1.3–1.5×
- High demand: 1.8–2.5×
- Extreme: 3.0×+
