How the fare is estimated
The fare has four parts. The base fare is the starting amount for getting in. The distance charge is your kilometres multiplied by the per-km rate. The waiting charge is Rs 5 per minute for the time the driver waits (edit the per-km rate field if your area differs, or simply add the wait). When the night toggle is on, a 20 percent surcharge is added to the subtotal. The final total is rounded to the nearest 5 rupees, because rickshaw fares in Pakistan are normally paid in round amounts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does this tool calculate?
It estimates an auto rickshaw fare from the distance in kilometres, waiting time in minutes, and optional night-time surcharge, showing a full breakdown of base fare, distance charge, waiting charge, and surcharge.
How are the city rates used?
Each city preset fills in a typical starting fare and a per-kilometre rate, and you can edit both fields to match the rates in your area before calculating.
What is the night-time surcharge?
Rickshaw drivers often charge extra after late evening. Turning on the toggle adds a 20 percent surcharge on the subtotal, which is common practice in many Pakistani cities.
Is this the exact fare I will pay?
No. It is an honest estimate to help you agree a fair fare before the ride. Traffic, road conditions, and negotiation can change the final amount.
Why is the total rounded to the nearest 5 rupees?
Rickshaw fares in Pakistan are normally settled in round amounts, so the total is rounded to the nearest 5 rupees to match how drivers actually charge.
