Taxi Fare Calculator

Estimate a taxi or cab fare from base fare, distance, time and surge pricing.

How this is calculated
Total fare = (Base fare + Distance × rate/km + Duration × rate/min) × Surge multiplier

Assumptions used in this calculation

  • Simplified fare model: Uses a base fare plus linear per-km and per-minute rates with a single surge multiplier; it doesn't model tiered distance slabs, waiting-time charges, tolls or platform-specific minimum fares.
  • No local regulation or convenience fees: City-specific regulated fare caps, night charges, GST or convenience fees added by ride-hailing platforms are not included.
