How Our Force Vehicle Income Calculator Works
Understanding each input field helps you get accurate profit projections. Let’s break down every component of the calculator and what it means for your Bangalore transport business.
Calculator Input Fields Explained
Rate per KM (₹)
What it means: This is the rental charge you receive per kilometre travelled. It’s your primary revenue source.
Bangalore Market Rates
| Vehicle Type | Local City Use | Outstation Tourism | Corporate Contracts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Force Traveller (12-seater) | ₹18–22/km | ₹20–25/km | ₹16–20/km (fixed monthly) |
| Force Urbania (17-seater) | ₹28–32/km | ₹32–38/km | ₹26–30/km (fixed monthly) |
Note: Amounts may differ in real-time based on vehicle condition, season, and client type.
Factors Affecting Your Rate:
- AC vs Non-AC: AC vehicles command a 20-25% premium
- Vehicle Age: New vehicles get higher rates
- Route Type: Highway trips pay more than city circuits
- Client Category: Corporate clients pay lower per-km but offer volume
- Season: Wedding season (Nov-Feb) and holidays see 15-30% rate increases
Calculator Tip: Use your average blended rate. If you charge ₹20/km for tourism and ₹18/km for corporate, and expect 60% tourism bookings, use: (0.6 × 20) + (0.4 × 18) = ₹19.2/km
Average Distance Covered per Month (KM)
What it means: Total kilometres your vehicle travels in a typical month.
Bangalore Operator Benchmarks:
- Low Activity: 3,500-4,500 km/month (15-18 operational days)
- Average Activity: 5,000-6,500 km/month (20-22 operational days)
- High Activity: 7,000-9,000 km/month (25-28 operational days)
Sample Monthly Distance Breakdown:
Corporate Contract (Mon-Fri): 120 km/day × 22 days = 2,640 km
Weekend Tourist Trips: 350 km/trip × 8 trips = 2,800 km
Airport Transfers: 80 km/trip × 10 trips = 800 km
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
TOTAL MONTHLY DISTANCE: 6,240 km
Popular Bangalore Routes & Distances:
- Bangalore to Mysore: 150 km one-way (300 km round trip)
- Bangalore to Coorg: 260 km one-way (520 km round trip)
- Bangalore to Ooty: 270 km one-way (540 km round trip)
- Bangalore Airport (KIAL) pickups: 35-45 km one-way
- Whitefield to Electronic City (daily corporate): 45-55 km
Calculator Tip: Start conservative. It’s better to underestimate and exceed targets than overestimate and face cash shortages.
EMI (₹)
What it means: Your monthly loan repayment amount if you’re financing the vehicle purchase.
Typical EMI Ranges
| Vehicle | On-Road Price | Down Payment (20%) | Loan Amount | 5-Year EMI | 7-Year EMI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Force Traveller | ₹16–18 lakhs* | ₹3.2–3.6 lakhs | ₹12.8–14.4 lakhs | ₹28,000–32,000 | ₹22,000–25,000 |
| Force Urbania | ₹28–32 lakhs* | ₹5.6–6.4 lakhs | ₹22.4–25.6 lakhs | ₹52,000–58,000 | ₹40,000–45,000 |
Amounts may differ in real-time based on variant, location, and offers.
EMI Calculation Factors:
- Interest Rate: Currently 9.5-11.5% for commercial vehicles in Bangalore
- Loan Tenure: 5 years vs 7 years (longer tenure = lower EMI but higher total interest)
- Down Payment: A Higher down payment reduces EMI burden
- Credit Score: Better score (750+) gets better rates
How to Get Your Exact EMI:
- Visit Khivraj Force Bangalore showroom
- Get on-road price quote for your preferred variant
- Discuss financing options with our loan partners
- Calculate exact EMI based on your down payment and tenure
Calculator Tip: If paying cash, enter ₹0 in EMI field. Your profit will be significantly higher without loan repayments.
Maintenance
What it means: Monthly expense for vehicle servicing, spare parts, repairs, and preventive maintenance.
Bangalore Monthly Maintenance Costs
| Expense Category | Force Traveller | Force Urbania |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Servicing (quarterly) | ₹2,500–3,500 | ₹3,500–4,500 |
| Engine Oil & Filters | ₹1,200–1,800 | ₹1,500–2,200 |
| Tire Replacement (annual avg.) | ₹1,500/month | ₹2,000/month |
| Brake & Suspension | ₹1,000–1,500 | ₹1,200–1,800 |

| TOTAL MONTHLY | ₹8,000–12,000 | ₹10,000–15,000 |
Amounts may differ in real-time based on vehicle age, usage intensity, and service centre choice.
Maintenance-Saving Tips:
- Follow manufacturer’s service schedule strictly
- Use genuine spare parts from Khivraj Force service centers
- Train drivers on fuel-efficient driving
- Address minor issues immediately to prevent major repairs
- Maintain daily vehicle inspection logs
Calculator Tip: Use higher estimates (₹12,000 for Traveller, ₹15,000 for Urbania) in your first year. Better to overestimate costs than face surprises.
Fuel
What it means: Monthly diesel expenses based on your vehicle’s mileage and operational distance.
Fuel Cost Calculation Formula:
Monthly Fuel Cost = (Monthly Distance ÷ Vehicle Mileage) × Diesel Price
Bangalore Diesel Prices & Mileage (November 2025):
- Current Diesel Price: ₹89-92/liter (may differ in real-time)
- Force Traveller Mileage: 10-12 km/liter (average 11 km/l)
- Force Urbania Mileage: 8-10 km/liter (average 9 km/l)
Sample Fuel Cost Calculation:
Force Traveller:
Distance: 6,000 km/month
Mileage: 11 km/liter
Diesel Price: ₹90/liter
Fuel Required: 6,000 ÷ 11 = 545 liters
Monthly Fuel Cost: 545 × ₹90 = ₹49,050
Force Urbania:
Distance: 5,500 km/month
Mileage: 9 km/liter
Diesel Price: ₹90/liter
Fuel Required: 5,500 ÷ 9 = 611 liters
Monthly Fuel Cost: 611 × ₹90 = ₹54,990
Factors Affecting Fuel Consumption:
- Driving Style: Aggressive acceleration increases consumption by 20-30%
- Terrain: Hilly routes (Bangalore-Ooty) reduce mileage by 15-20%
- AC Usage: Continuous AC reduces mileage by 10-15%
- Load: Full passenger capacity reduces mileage marginally
- Maintenance: Poor engine maintenance can drop mileage by 20%
Calculator Tip: Use actual Bangalore diesel prices and conservative mileage estimates. Check real-time prices at Indian Oil Bangalore outlets before calculation.
Your Income (Net Profit)
What it means: This is your final monthly profit after deducting all expenses from your gross revenue.
Calculation:
Gross Monthly Income = Rate per KM × Monthly Distance
Total Monthly Expenses = EMI + Maintenance + Fuel
Net Monthly Profit = Gross Income – Total Expenses
Sample Calculation (Force Traveller):
REVENUE:
Rate per km: ₹20
Monthly distance: 6,000 km
Gross Monthly Income: ₹1,20,000
EXPENSES:
EMI: ₹30,000
Maintenance: ₹10,000
Fuel: ₹49,000
Total Expenses: ₹89,000
NET MONTHLY PROFIT: ₹31,000
What This Number Tells You:
- Positive Profit: Business is viable, you’re earning after all costs
- Profit Margin: Calculate as (Net Profit ÷ Gross Income) × 100
- ROI Timeline: Investment ÷ Monthly Profit = months to break-even
- Scalability: Higher profit means you can reinvest in a second vehicle sooner
Additional Costs Not in Calculator (include in your planning):
- Driver Salary: ₹18,000-25,000/month (if not owner-driven)
- Insurance: ₹4,000-6,000/month (annual premium divided)
- Permits & Taxes: ₹1,500-2,500/month
- Parking & Tolls: ₹2,000-4,000/month
- Office/Admin Costs: ₹3,000-5,000/month

Understanding Your Operating Costs in the Bangalore Market
Accurate expense calculation is crucial for realistic profit projections. Many operators underestimate hidden costs and face cash flow problems. Let’s break down every expense category with Bangalore-specific numbers.
Fixed Monthly Expenses (Predictable Costs)
- EMI (Loan Repayment)
If you’re financing your vehicle purchase:
| Vehicle | On-Road Price | Loan Amount (80%) | 5-Year EMI | 7-Year EMI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traveller (12-seater) | ₹16–18 lakhs | ₹12.8–14.4 lakhs | ₹28,000–32,000 | ₹22,000–25,000 |
| Traveller (17-seater) | ₹18–20 lakhs | ₹14.4–16 lakhs | ₹32,000–35,000 | ₹24,500–27,000 |
| Urbania (13-seater) | ₹28–30 lakhs | ₹22.4–24 lakhs | ₹52,000–56,000 | ₹40,000–43,000 |
| Urbania (17-seater) | ₹30–32 lakhs | ₹24–25.6 lakhs | ₹56,000–60,000 | ₹43,000–46,000 |
Amounts may differ in real-time based on variant, offers, and dealership location. Interest rate assumed: 10.5% per annum.
EMI Impact on Cash Flow:
Example: Force Traveller with ₹30,000 EMI
Minimum Monthly Revenue Needed: ₹90,000
(To cover EMI + Fuel + Maintenance comfortably)
Break-even Operational Days: 18-20 days
(At average ₹4,500-5,000 revenue per day)
Pro Tip: Negotiate a longer loan tenure (7 years) if you’re starting out. Lower EMI means less cash flow pressure during lean months. You can always prepay later when business stabilizes.
2. Insurance Premium
Comprehensive Commercial Vehicle Insurance:
| Coverage Type | Force Traveller | Force Urbania |
|---|---|---|
| Third-Party (mandatory) | ₹8,500–10,000/year | ₹10,000–12,000/year |
| Own Damage (comprehensive) | ₹35,000–45,000/year | ₹55,000–70,000/year |
| Total Annual Premium | ₹43,500–55,000 | ₹65,000–82,000 |
| Monthly Cost | ₹3,600–4,600 | ₹5,400–6,800 |
Amounts may differ in real-time based on IDV (Insured Declared Value), add-on covers, and claim history.

Amounts may differ in real-time based on RTO location and vehicle specifications.
Monthly Permit Cost:
₹1,500-2,000 (annual permits divided by 12 months)
Important: Obtain an All-India permit if you plan to undertake out-of-state tourism. The state permit restricts you to Karnataka only.
