I'm really anal about budgeting. Here's an example:
I figured out my Transportation expenses yesterday:
Fixed costs:
Insurance: $1116 / yr.
Registration: $55 / yr.
Inspection: $12 / yr.
Total: $1183 / yr. or $99 / month
Varible Costs:
Oil changes: $35 per 4500 miles or 0.007777... per mile.
Transmission oil change: $55 per 5000 miles or $0.011 per mile.
Tires: $360 per 60,000 miles or $0.006 per mile.
General mataince: $7 every 100 miles or 0.07 per mile.
I drive about 400 miles a month so that's about $38 per month in varible costs.
Grand total: $137 a month or $68.5 per paycheck.
If you're interedted in doing it like I do, grab yourself a Managerial Accounting textbook and learn about activity based costing.
Sorry for all that... I know I'm anal... I just don't like surprises.
