how much does it cost you to get to work?

76 miles a day just to work and back, on cbr 125r '12

it works out around 12% as apprentice(only 7 months left :D)

so better than those weird car drivers, but still not impressive :3
 
About £300 including fuel and Tyne tunnel tolls. Will change next month though as my work is moving just down the road from my place. I'll just walk from now on and can't wait. :b

My take home is about £1200 before bills so that £300 stung me quite a bit.

My train ticket and travel card comes to £629 a month, but that's the price to pay to live in blissful countryside and still get to the London office in under an hour and a half door to door.
 
£5 a day on fuel roughly. 36 miles round trip, so £25 a week on fuel. £100 a month in total.

Roughly 3.5% of take home, a lot better than I actually though!
 
Depends really. A zone 1-2 travel card is £32 a week which I sometimes use, depending on my shifts and what my wife's up to. A buss pass is £12 a week or so, can't remember so that'd be my second cheapest option, second to driving. It costs me about 50p in fuel to drive to work and back and about 5 years of my life wondering how the hell so many idiots managed to get drivers licences.

I cycled it once too. Wife went nuts, "IF YOU CYCLE TO WORK AGAIN YOU'RE GOING TO BECOME A STATISTIC!"


Yeah, ok :D
 
Nothing. I have a company car with unlimited fuel, so whilst I pay a BIK every month it woild be very difficult to actually split out the cost of my commute because I could be at different sites 5 days a week.
 
Company car with fuel card, costs me about £3500 a year in extra tax... so about £70 a week if I didn't use it for anything other than getting to work, but I do

Erm... Surely the monthly BIK would cover that? Do you not only pay that for personal use? i.e. the commute?

No, because I have access to completely unlimited fuel, business /private / commute, - and I drive to a lot more places other than my commute. So like I say, difficult to break it down. If I decide to do a thousand miles around Europe for a laugh then my commuting cost per mile plummets. If I park the car on the drive and literally only use it to get to work then the costs per mile are higher (the BIK payment remains the same)
