Personal travel budget calculator
Calculations below demonstrate the £ value of your Personal Travel Budget (PTB) (Column G)
Calculations are based on a distance measurement (miles) from home to school/college (using Google Maps shortest driving distance) (Column A)
4 journeys per day (outward journey: home to school/college to home and inward journey: home to school/college to home) (Column B)
190 days per academic year (five days per week x 38 weeks per academic year) (Column C)
Mileage rate: 45 pence per mile for all miles up to 10,000 per academic year (number of miles shown in Column E)
Mileage rate: 25 pence per mile for all miles in excess of 10,000 per academic year (number of miles shown in Column F)
Please note: should your child's attendance vary from the example used (190 days), an adjustment is required to the calculations below.
