Living Costs
These tools help you estimate the fixed costs that come around every month or every year. You can work out an electricity bill from an appliance’s power draw, and check water and gas charges.
Car running costs are covered in depth, from vehicle and weight taxes, the environmental performance tax, and recycling fees, to a total cost estimate for a roadworthiness inspection and a comparison of kei-car versus regular-car running costs.
Auto insurance gets particularly thorough coverage: alongside a premium simulator by no-claims grade, you can compare the premium impact of the deductible amount, driver-scope riders, intended use, gold-license and second-car discounts, telematics insurance, paperless policy discounts, and sales channel (agent versus direct). There is also a break-even simulator for deciding whether to file a claim or pay for repairs yourself.
You’ll also find comparison tools for choices that affect your budget, such as commuting by car versus public transport and the lifetime cost of an EV versus a gasoline car.
