Sprinter Cost Per Mile Calculator
Know your true cost per mile before evaluating any load. CPM is the baseline metric for every carrier — if you don't know your cost, you can't know your profit.

Sprinter operations often sit in the middle ground: better revenue per mile than cargo vans, with moderate compliance and maintenance load.
Since many sprinter setups exceed 10,001 lbs GVWR, DOT authority and annual inspection readiness become part of your true operating cost profile.

Cost Per Mile by State
Select your state for local diesel prices, insurance rates, and region-specific cost data. Coverage includes 49 states.
Low Fuel Tax (under 22¢/gal)
Fuel cost per mile stays lean — your CPM is driven more by insurance and fixed overhead.
Mid Fuel Tax (22–35¢/gal)
Fuel tax is near the national average — focus on utilization and route efficiency.
High Fuel Tax (35–50¢/gal)
Above-average fuel tax makes fuel a larger share of CPM than in most states.
Very High Fuel Tax (over 50¢/gal)
Fuel tax alone can add $0.05–$0.10/mi — route planning and fuel stops matter most here.
