1. What is the E-ZPass Toll Calculator?

The E-ZPass Toll Calculator estimates the total toll cost for a trip using the E-ZPass electronic toll collection system. It calculates fees based on the toll rate per segment and the number of segments in your journey.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Toll\ Rate \) — Cost per segment in dollars
• \( Segments \) — Number of toll segments in your trip

Explanation: The calculator multiplies the toll rate per segment by the number of segments to determine the total toll cost.

3. Importance of Toll Calculation

Details: Accurate toll estimation helps with trip budgeting and comparing costs of different routes. E-ZPass users typically receive discounted rates compared to cash payments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the toll rate per segment in dollars and the number of segments in your trip. All values must be valid (rate > 0, segments ≥1).
