Help CenterDistance Allowance
When calculating the Estimated Working Time (EWT) of a run or the minimum timeframe duration (whichever is higher), an included distance allowance is applied. This allowance starts at 55km for a 3-hour minimum timeframe, with an incremental increase of 0.1667km per minute (equivalent to 10km per hour). The distance allowance is calculated based on minutes. The table below provides a detailed breakdown:
| Minimum Timeframe Duration | Distance Allowance (km) |
|---|---|
| 3 hours (180 minutes) | 55.0 km |
| 3 hours 30 minutes (210 minutes) | 60.0 km |
| 4 hours (240 minutes) | 65.0 km |
| 4 hours 30 minutes (270 minutes) | 70.0 km |
| 5 hours (300 minutes) | 75.0 km |
| 5 hours 30 minutes (330 minutes) | 80.0 km |
| 6 hours (360 minutes) | 85.0 km |
| 6 hours 30 minutes (390 minutes) | 90.0 km |
| 7 hours (420 minutes) | 95.0 km |
| 7 hours 30 minutes (450 minutes) | 100.0 km |
| 8 hours (480 minutes) | 105.0 km |
| 8 hours 30 minutes (510 minutes) | 110.0 km |
| 9 hours (540 minutes) | 115.0 km |
| 9 hours 30 minutes (570 minutes) | 120.0 km |
| 10 hours (600 minutes) | 125.0 km |
| 10 hours 30 minutes (630 minutes) | 130.0 km |
Exceeded Distance Levy
No additional charges will apply if the estimated driving distance is within the distance allowance. If the estimated driving distance exceeds the allowance, additional charges will be calculated in tiers. For detailed distance levy rates, please refer to the distance levy page within the member portal.
Example Calculations
Rate Assumptions:
- Levy Rate for first 25km over allowance: $0.70/km
- Levy Rate for second 25km over allowance: $0.80/km
- Levy Rate beyond 50km over allowance: $0.90/km
Example 1:
- Run EWT: 3 hours 25 minutes
- Run Distance: 72 km
Calculation:
- Distance Allowance: 55 km + (25 mins * 0.1667 km/min) = 59.17 km
- Exceeded Distance: 72 km - 59.17 km = 12.83 km
- Distance Levy: 12.83 km * $0.70/km = $8.98 (ex GST)
Example 2:
- Run EWT: 3 hours 45 minutes
- Run Distance: 98 km
Calculation:
- Distance Allowance: 55 km + (45 mins * 0.1667 km/min) = 62.50 km
- Exceeded Distance: 98 km - 62.50 km = 35.5 km
- Distance Levy:
- First 25 km: 25 km * $0.70/km = $17.50
- Remaining 10.5 km: 10.5 km * $0.80/km = $8.40
- Total Levy: $17.50 + $8.40 = $25.90 (ex GST)
