Awaiting input

Enter a payload to see where it sits in the selected cohort. The simulator will compute its empirical percentile and flag whether it clears P25, P50, P75, P90 and P95.

Percentiles are computed empirically from the filtered cohort. The fitted bell curve is a Gaussian using the cohort's μ and σ — overlay it for shape, but trust the empirical percentiles.

Cost economics

Translates the payload distribution into per-MT economics. Both modules use your declared payload from the panel above as the baseline; cohort P25/P50/P75 show what would happen if your truck loaded like the lower-quartile, median, or upper-quartile vehicle in the same selection.

Module 01 · Trip-based costing

A → B trip cost → effective ₹/MT

For a fixed ₹/Trip lump sum, heavier payloads spread the same cost over more tonnage — so the effective ₹/MT drops. Your stated payload sets the baseline rate; cohort P25/P50/P75 show what your effective ₹/MT would be at those utilization levels.

Trip cost (₹ per trip)

Enter a trip cost above and a payload in the "Score your truck" panel.

Module 02 · Contract-rate costing

₹/MT contract − fixed-cost drag

A ₹/MT contract rate looks payload-agnostic on paper, but fixed costs (EMI, driver, insurance) are per-trip lump sums — they amortize over the MT actually carried. Heavier truck = same fixed cost spread over more MT = smaller drag on the contract rate. Enter fixed cost as ₹/MT at your baseline payload (e.g. 1,250 if it's roughly half your contract rate at this load).
