A practical guide

Use these steps as a preparation aid, then confirm important details with the original document or the relevant official service.

Add annual costs

Insurance, tax and servicing should be divided across twelve months.

Include parking and tolls

Small repeated payments can become a meaningful monthly amount.

Use realistic mileage

Cost per kilometre depends on how much the vehicle is used.

Recheck after changes

Update the figures after renewal, servicing or a change in routine.
