What’s your real cost per stop?
Fully loaded — vehicle, labor, insurance, overhead. Not just the payment.

How the DSP Fleet Cost Calculator Works
Most Amazon DSP operators know their per-package rate but not their fully loaded cost per stop. This calculator includes everything — driver wages, payroll taxes, workers comp, vehicle payment, fuel, insurance, maintenance, and admin overhead — to compute the number that actually determines your margin.
All assumptions are transparent and overridable. Defaults come from BLS wage data, EIA fuel prices, RepairPal maintenance benchmarks, and operator-confirmed fleet data.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is fully loaded cost per stop?
It is your total monthly operating cost — driver wages, payroll taxes, workers comp, benefits, vehicle payment, fuel, insurance, maintenance, and admin overhead — divided by the number of delivery stops you complete per month. Unlike a simple per-package rate, it captures the real cost of running each route.
Why is driver labor the biggest cost?
For most DSP operations, driver labor (wages + FICA + workers comp + benefits) accounts for 55–65% of the fully loaded cost per stop. A $1/hr wage change can shift your cost-per-stop by $0.08–$0.10 depending on route density.
What is the maintenance escalation cliff?
Delivery vans in high-utilization fleets see a sharp increase in maintenance costs between 60,000 and 80,000 miles. Monthly maintenance can jump from $140 to $350+ per van. Tracking mileage against this curve helps operators plan trade-outs before costs spike.
