Eco-Mobility Calculator
Total cumulative cost (housing + transport) over 10 years
Eco-Mobility Calculator
This tool compares two life choices over 10 years: a cheaper home further away (with a car) vs. a more expensive home nearby (with a bike). It helps you quantify whether the housing savings offset the cost of owning a car.
Prices are fixed at today's values — energy and real estate evolution are not modeled. Treat this as an order-of-magnitude comparison, not a financial forecast.
