fleet.cost-per-mile

Whole-life cost per mile of a vehicle, in tenths of a penny, from depreciation, fuel, maintenance, insurance and tax.

1.0.0 · published 2026-10-03 by charlie · Anterra

Pinned by 13 tests, run in TypeScript, Python and Rust.

What it does

Whole-life cost per mile of a vehicle: what it cost over a period (depreciation, fuel, maintenance, insurance and tax) divided by the miles it covered, in tenths of a penny, which is how fleet reports quote it ("50.3p a mile").

## Shape

For example

  • costPerMile(depreciation £3,000.00, fuel £1,800.00, maintenance £600.00, insurance £450.00, tax £190.00, 12,000) → total cost £6,040.00, depreciation tenths 250, fuel tenths 150, maintenance tenths 50, insurance tenths 38, tax tenths 16, total tenths 503, per mile 50.3 a year's costs over 12,000 miles: 50.3p a mile, though the rounded parts add up to 50.4
  • costPerMile(depreciation £1.00, fuel £2.00, maintenance £3.00, insurance £4.00, tax £5.00, 1) → total cost £15.00, depreciation tenths 1,000, fuel tenths 2,000, maintenance tenths 3,000, insurance tenths 4,000, tax tenths 5,000, total tenths 15,000, per mile 1500.0 one mile: every penny is ten tenths
  • costPerMile(depreciation £0.00, fuel £0.00, maintenance £0.00, insurance £0.00, tax £0.00, 5,000) → total cost £0.00, depreciation tenths 0, fuel tenths 0, maintenance tenths 0, insurance tenths 0, tax tenths 0, total tenths 0, per mile 0.0 nothing spent is 0.0p a mile

Install

fune build

With that line in your source, in a TypeScript project (language typescript in fune.project), fune build resolves it and its 3 dependencies, pins them in fune.lock, downloads only the TypeScript package of each, and builds the code above into your project’s .fune/build, one readable file per capability with a header linking back here. Or pin a range in fune.project and build in one step:

fune add fleet.cost-per-mile
Download for TypeScript fleet.cost-per-mile-1.0.0-typescript.fune · 13,126 bytes sha256 dca088aa98126c46ea14f97cfaeeca66c5aebb73f8b521791b3d8f77497f810f

The manifest, vectors and README with only the TypeScript implementation. Install it without the registry with fune add ./fleet.cost-per-mile-1.0.0-typescript.fune, or fetch it from a terminal with fune pull fleet.cost-per-mile@1.0.0:typescript.

The whole function, every language, is one file too: fleet.cost-per-mile-1.0.0.fune, 17,753 bytes, sha256 eac59b91ed735bbe4b2d8f38c349e2f4b840cd26eeecb644a17f65ca12d6f05c. It installs into a project of any language.

Customise it in your app

The seams this capability offers. Put a marker directly above a function of your own and fune build wires it into the built code; the package on the registry is not changed, the built file’s header lists it under CUSTOMISED, and fune hooks lists every hook in the project. How hooks work.

before — your function gets the arguments and returns them, changed or not, or throws to refuse the call.

// fune: before fleet.cost-per-mile

after — your function gets the result and the arguments, and returns the final result.

// fune: after fleet.cost-per-mile

replace — inside this capability’s code only, calls to a dependency go to your function, with the same signature. Other capabilities that use it are unaffected; write in * to replace it everywhere.

// fune: replace math.round-div in fleet.cost-per-mile
// fune: replace money.amount in fleet.cost-per-mile
// fune: replace money.sum in fleet.cost-per-mile

step — your function runs at a numbered point inside the function’s body, receives the in-scope values it names as parameters, and may return replacements. List the points with fune show fleet.cost-per-mile --steps.

// fune: step fleet.cost-per-mile after <n|label>

Tests

A version published now needs at least 8 tests for every function, and one that expects the error for each function that throws; the registry refuses it otherwise. fune verify --all runs each case in TypeScript, Python and Rust, and a project runs them again with fune verify. This page lists the cases; it does not run them. The exact JSON is vectors.json.

More from the author

The costs come in as one `WholeLifeCosts` record of `Money`, all in one currency; mixing currencies is an error. The result gives each part per mile, the total per mile, and the total as text (`"50.3"`), all as integers in tenths of a minor unit, rounded half-up (half a tenth away from zero).

## Rounding

Every figure is rounded on its own, and the total is rounded from the total cost, not added up from the rounded parts. 6,040.00 over 12,000 miles is 50.3p a mile; the rounded parts (25.0 + 15.0 + 5.0 + 3.8 + 1.6) add up to 50.4. A report whose columns must add up should show the parts to more places or footnote the difference.

## Edges

Depreciation can be negative (a vehicle sold for more than it cost), and the per-mile figures are then negative too. Miles must be a whole number above zero. This does not work out the costs themselves: see `fleet.fuel-cost`, `fleet.vehicle-depreciation` and `fleet.ev-charging-cost`.
