1. What is Annual Mileage Estimation?

Annual mileage estimation calculates how many miles you drive each year based on your daily commute and holidays. Insurance companies use this to assess risk and determine premiums.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Daily\ Commute \) — Your typical daily driving distance (miles)
• \( Holidays \) — Days you don't drive (vacation, work from home days)

Explanation: The equation multiplies your daily commute by days in a year, then subtracts days you don't drive.

3. Importance for Insurance

Details: Insurance companies consider annual mileage a key risk factor. Generally, lower mileage means lower risk and potentially lower premiums.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your average daily commute distance and estimated number of days you won't drive. Be honest for accurate insurance estimates.
