What this worksheet helps you decide
Distribute a known total distance across days using your own relative weights. It provides a transparent working copy of one defined question, not a complete journey plan. The relevant inputs and the scope of the calculation stay visible beside the result.
The most useful result is not always the most favorable number. It may be a shortfall that tells you to revisit an allowance, a comparison that exposes a hidden fee, or a reminder that your source information needs checking.
How to use it
- Define one scenario. Use information you have checked for your own trip. Replace every example field that differs from your plan.
- Check units and reference dates. Keep amounts in the units shown. Clock values share one reference clock; a currency label does not convert money.
- Calculate and read the components. Compare the result with the method below. If a source value is uncertain, calculate a second scenario rather than treating one answer as certain.
- Keep a copy deliberately. Download or print only after reviewing the result. Changing an input marks the old result stale; calculate again before exporting.
Method and calculation rules
Each day’s ideal allocation is total distance × its weight ÷ sum of weights. Distance is rounded to tenths of a kilometer using largest remainders so displayed allocations add back to the rounded total. The tool distributes numbers; it does not locate overnight stops or roads.
The method describes what is counted and what is not. A displayed quantity can be rounded for readability; rounding does not make an input more accurate. Do not substitute a result for facts this worksheet does not retrieve.
A worked example
900 km with weights 1, 1.5 and 0.5 distributes as 300, 450 and 150 km. The largest weighted stage is 450 km.
Important limits
Distance is not workload or safety. No route, traffic, road quality or driving-hour recommendation is retrieved. Check realistic stages independently.
Use this worksheet while stationary. It cannot monitor your journey, notify another traveler or provide emergency help. If a result appears wrong, stop relying on it and send a non-sensitive reproducible example through the Contact page.
Questions about this tool
Does it choose places to stop?
No. It only allocates an entered distance. Choose and verify actual routes and overnight locations separately.
Can a weight be zero?
No. Use a positive weight for every listed driving stage. Leave a non-driving day out of this particular allocation.
