How this was calculated

Distance per month = 20 km × 2 × 21.7 = 868 km

Fuel = 868 km ÷ 100 × 7 L × €1.75 = €106.33

Wear and tear = 868 km × €0.05 = €43.40

Deutschlandticket = €63.00 − €0.00 = €63.00

Basis: ticket price €63.00 per month, 21.7 workdays per month, fuel price €1.75 per litre (average).

Not included: long-distance rail (ICE, IC), car insurance and vehicle tax.
