RPM Calculator

Enter what a load pays and how many miles it covers to get your rate per mile — add deadhead miles to see what you actually earned per mile driven, not just per mile paid.

Total Pay for the Load ($)

Loaded Miles

The miles the load actually paid for, pickup to delivery.

Deadhead Miles (optional)

Unpaid miles getting to the pickup or after delivery — add this to see your real per-mile rate across the whole trip, not just the paid leg.

All-Miles RPM (add deadhead)

Loaded RPM is pay divided by the miles the load itself covers. All-Miles RPM divides the same pay by loaded miles plus deadhead — the truer number if you're comparing what a lane actually nets you. See RPM (Rate Per Mile) and Deadhead Miles in our glossary for more on how these are used in practice.
