Enter the distance, fuel use and date of a trip in the Netherlands, and see what it cost then and what the same trip costs now.
Please note: The prices are national averages from Statistics Netherlands (CBS): pump prices per day in the Netherlands, including excise duty and VAT. What you paid yourself depends on the station and the moment.
How it works
What did the fuel for a trip in the Netherlands cost back then, and what does the same trip cost now? Enter the distance, the fuel use of the car, the fuel and the date. You see the cost then and now, the difference, and the trip of then in today's money.
The prices are the average pump prices per day in the Netherlands from Statistics Netherlands (CBS), based on data from Travelcard BV, including excise duty and VAT. If there is no price for the day you pick, we take the last day before it. Now is the latest day with a price.
For today's money we use the consumer price index of CBS: the amount of then times the index of the latest month, divided by the index of the month of then. The difference after inflation shows whether fuel rose faster or slower than prices in general.
Frequently asked questions
Do you use my own receipts?
No. We use the average pump price of that day in the Netherlands. On a highway or across the border you often pay more or less.
Why only from 2006?
CBS publishes average pump prices per day from January 1, 2006. Before that there are only advisory prices of the oil companies, which are a different price that we don't mix in here.
Do you store what I enter?
No. We only use what you enter for this calculation and don't store it.
