Margin: 27.6 %

A car in your business costs money. It also earns money. The gap decides whether it carries your business or drags it down. Many rental-car owners know the revenue per car more or less. But the margin? Very few do. This calculator shows in seconds whether one car makes profit or loss.

How the calculator works

You type in the gross revenue per month. That's the number from your Uber or Bolt payout. Then the usual costs. Lease. Insurance. Fuel. Workshop and tires. And the driver pay. For employed drivers that's wage plus social security. For commission drivers the paid-out amount. The calculator subtracts the platform fee. It puts revenue against costs. A minus? Then this car runs at a loss.

What Fahrly does for you

You need this calculation for each car and each month. Doing it for the whole fleet at once is not enough. Because utilization varies from car to car. The Fleet module in Fahrly keeps a cost card for every single car. Lease. Insurance. Workshop. TÜV. Tires. The Finance module ties these costs to revenue from Uber and Bolt. In the report you see the real margin per car. Sorted. The loss makers rise to the top. You decide: sell, replace, change driver. But the numbers arrive without a Friday-evening Excel.

No car stays hidden. Every margin is visible.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What's a good margin per car?

A healthy rental car makes 8 to 15 percent net margin. Under 5 percent, one cost block is too big. Usually leasing or driver commission. Under 0 percent, the car is a subsidy business.

Why do many owners find out late that a car loses money?

Because revenue in Uber and Bolt is shown all together. And costs sit in different Excel files. If you don't calculate per car, you only see the total. If three cars make plus 200 euro and one loses 600, the total still looks positive.

What's missing from this calculation?

Taxes (vehicle tax, VAT) and one-off costs (big repairs, tire change). For the daily check the calculation is enough. For the annual account add 8 to 12 percent repair buffer and the taxes.
