Don't forget to click "Calculate" each time you make a change. Page down6 to see results of what you entered above.

Results... The Miles You Will Have To Run...

If you do not understand how paid miles differ from actual, or hub, miles, click the "More Info" button above - it is very important that you understand this.

You will have to run paid miles at the per mile rate you've indicated above to earn this annual income in mileage pay alone.

This breaks down to: paid miles per month, per week, and per day.

If you're only on the road as many days as indicated above, you will have to run at least paid miles each day in order to earn the above desired income.

Once you've achieved the results that you believe to be correct for your situation, move on to the next section.

You will need Section I to be completed in order to get any usable results for Section II.
