Use this tool to quickly calculate the cost of parking based on the duration of your stay.
How to Use the Parking Lot Cost Calculator
To calculate the parking cost, follow these steps:
- Enter your arrival time in the “Arrival Time” field using the HH:MM format.
- Enter your departure time in the “Departure Time” field using the HH:MM format.
- Enter the hourly parking rate in the “Parking Rate” field. This should be a number.
- Enter the minimum parking fee in the “Minimum Parking Fee” field. This should also be a number.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the total parking cost in the “Result” field.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator takes the arrival and departure times to calculate the total parking duration in hours. It then multiplies the duration by the hourly parking rate to compute the cost. If the calculated cost is less than the minimum parking fee, the result will be equal to the minimum parking fee. The calculation takes into account overnight parking by adding 24 hours if the departure time is earlier than the arrival time.
Limitations
- The calculator assumes that the parking rate is constant throughout the stay.
- Time inputs should be in the 24-hour format. If the entered times are in incorrect formats, the output will be “Please fill all fields correctly.”
- The maximum parking period calculated is 24 hours. For longer durations, the calculator does not handle multiple days accurately.
