How do I calculate truck profit?

Truck profit is calculated by subtracting total trip expenses such as fuel, toll, driver salary, and maintenance from total freight income. This calculator automatically shows your net profit and profit per KM.

What is a good profit per KM for trucks in India?

Most truck owners in India target around ₹8 to ₹15 profit per KM depending on route, fuel price, and vehicle type. Higher profit per KM indicates a better trip.

How does diesel cost affect truck profit?
