Whole life cost calculator
Whole life cost is how we calculate how much your vehicle will cost you throughout its entire lifespan under your ownership.
While it can be tempting to jump at a good sale price, it’s far smarter to consider how much it will cost you in tax, repairs, fuel etc, so you can get a good deal overall. At Volkswagen, we pride ourselves on our reputation for building vehicles that have a competitive whole life cost.

Whole life cost breakdown
Our whole life cost calculator is designed to help fleet managers, small business owners, and company car drivers get an accurate reflection of how much their chosen model will cost them over time. Once you’ve picked a model, the calculator will show you how much factors including fuel, price depreciation, and insurance will cost over the vehicle’s lifespan. There are two values which the calculator will show: Monthly life cost is the average monthly cost based on you using your vehicle for 36 months and 10,000 miles per year. Whole Life Cost (and the factors within this) show you the total cost over 36 months of ownership.

If you’re leasing a car then the VED is included in your monthly payments, however purchasing a car outright involves paying a car tax fee every year to the DVLA. This represents the Whole Life Cost.

SMR is Service, Maintenance and Repair. Regular services are crucial for today's cars as the safety features and technology are so advanced that they need an expert's eye.

We've calculated our costs based on your selected time-frame and mileage. This represents the Whole Life Cost.
