About the Parking Cost Calculator
Parking is often one of the hidden costs of commuting by car. This calculator converts any rate — hourly, daily, or monthly — into a true annual cost so you can see the full picture and compare it against alternatives like public transport or cycling.
Rate types
- Hourly — enter your hourly rate and hours parked per day. Best for pay-and-display or NCP-style car parks.
- Daily — for a fixed daily rate, enter how many days per week you park.
- Monthly — for a monthly permit or reserved space, the calculator works out the daily and annual equivalent.
Frequently Asked Questions

Daily cost × days per week × 52 weeks. Monthly uses weekly × 4.33 (average weeks per month).
Parking vs public transport?
City centre parking at €3.50/hr for 8 hours costs €28/day — typically far more than a monthly transit pass.
Can I use this for airport parking?
Yes — use the daily rate type, set days per week to 7, and enter the number of days you need.
