Fuel Card Savings Calculator
Monthly fuel card savings = in-network gallons × your per-gallon discount + out-of-network gallons × any out-of-network discount − monthly card and transaction fees. Enter your own gallons and the discount you actually see at your stops; issuers' advertised averages (15¢ to 49¢ per gallon) are not guarantees.

How the math works
- In-network savings = gallons × in-network share × discount. Discounts exist only at an issuer's partner stops, so the in-network share is the biggest lever.
- Out-of-network savings: Mudflap publishes a 2¢/gal deduction elsewhere; most others publish none.
- Fees = cards × per-card fee + account fees + out-of-network transaction fees × transactions.
- Break-even discount = net fees ÷ in-network gallons: below that discount the card costs more than it saves.
Example arithmetic only: 1,000 gallons, 80% in network at 20¢ off is $160; one card at $8 leaves $152 a month, $1,824 a year. Not sure of your gallons? Monthly miles ÷ MPG (for example 8,000 ÷ 6.5 ≈ 1,231 gallons).

FAQ
How do I calculate fuel card savings?
Multiply the gallons you buy at in-network stops by your per-gallon discount, add any out-of-network discount, and subtract monthly card, account and transaction fees.
What discount should I enter?
The discount you actually see for the stops on your lanes in the issuer's app or fuel finder. Advertised averages (WEX 15¢, AtoB 42¢, TCS 49¢) and “up to” figures (Mudflap $1.00, AtoB $2.00) are not guarantees.
Does the calculator include setup fees?
No. It shows recurring monthly savings. One-time fees, such as AtoB's $35 or WEX Fleet One EDGE's $75 setup, are listed in the table so you can subtract them from the first month.
Can I put this calculator on my website?
Yes. Copy the iframe snippet in the Embed section; it is free and keeps a credit link to TruckerStack.
Is TruckerStack paid by fuel card companies?
No. We have no affiliate agreements with any fuel card issuer today; any future partner links will be labeled sponsored.
