DriveTruth is a set of independent, plain-English calculators and guides for the money side of owning a car in Australia — novated leasing, EV vs petrol, stamp duty, drive-away price, running costs and more.
Independent by design
We are not a dealer, lender, lease provider or broker. We have nothing to sell you, which is the whole point: most car calculators online are run by someone who profits from your decision and headline the number that makes the sale look best. We show the full picture — including the parts that make a deal look worse.
How we're funded
The site is free to use and supported by display advertising (Google AdSense), and where relevant by clearly-labelled affiliate or referral links. This funding never changes a calculator's output — the maths is the maths. See our Privacy Policy for how advertising and analytics cookies work.
Accuracy and honesty
Every result is an estimate based on the assumptions you enter and published rates as at their stated dates. Tax and duty settings change, and outcomes depend heavily on your circumstances. Our tools are information, not personal financial, tax or legal advice — always confirm with the ATO, your state revenue office and a licensed adviser before committing.
