Your commute, month by month
Nothing you type here is sent to us. Use today's prices for fuel, fares and parking. The examples in the boxes are only examples.
Get today's fare from the GO Transit fare tool, which also shows your station. Adding the cost of owning a second car, or a monthly parking pass, makes the car cost higher. This is an estimate only.
What to do with the answer
Add it to your budget
A commute that costs $400 a month more is $400 less for your mortgage. The calculator shows what that difference is worth.
Count your time
An hour each way is about 200 hours a year behind the wheel or on a train. Some people can work on the train and some cannot.
