## Calculator

The calculation runs in the visitor's browser. Share links contain only the numbers shown in the calculator. RelayCalculator.com does not book loads, read a Relay account, or receive shared calculation values.

## Trucker Chat

The homepage includes a live public chat room for route and operating-cost discussion. Visitors choose a public nickname. The room retains the latest 100 messages and applies basic rate limits. It is user-generated content, not a source of verified rates or operational advice, and is not exposed as an agent tool.

## Formula

- Total miles = loaded miles + deadhead miles.
- Fuel = total miles / MPG * fuel price.
- Maintenance = total miles * maintenance reserve per mile.
- Driver and dispatcher pay are percentages of base rate.
- Total costs include fuel, maintenance, insurance, truck fixed cost, crew pay, and other route costs.
- Net profit = payout - total costs.
- Net margin = net profit / payout.
- Net per total mile = net profit / total miles.
