How to Budget for Employee Transport for a Year

How do you budget for employee transport for a year?

Short answer

From headcount and towns to routes, a model, extras and a buffer.

Build the budget from the bottom up: staff per shift and the towns they travel from, a route plan that turns them into vehicles and kilometres, a pricing model (fixed monthly per vehicle with a km limit, per trip, or per km), extras such as tolls, parking and night driving, other movements (executives, airport, events), a buffer for growth, and a split by cost centre.

Key facts: annual transport budget

Inputs: Staff per shift, towns, timings, days
Model: One of three, quoted per company
Extras: Tolls, parking, night terms
Fuel changes: No effect: rates fixed for the term

Why not last year plus a percentage?

Because new shifts, new towns, more vehicles and executive travel move the cost more than inflation does.
