GPS ROI Calculator
Try Momentum’s free GPS ROI Calculator to see what poor fleet visibility is costing your business every year.
How Much Can You Save?
You’re probably spending more than you think. Most small business owners are. The problem is you don’t have visibility into the numbers to see it. This GPS ROI calculator takes your fleet size, fuel costs, wages, and a few other inputs and shows you what poor fleet visibility is likely costing you every year. It looks at fuel waste, labor inefficiency, accidents, and theft. Plug in your numbers and see what GPS tracking could put back in your pocket. Takes about 30 seconds.
What Is Your Fleet Really Costing You?
Enter your fleet details. We’ll show your estimated annual risk exposure — and what GPS tracking could save you.

“We save a lot of man hours and gas by tracking how close people are to the yard. We don’t have to sit there waiting or waste gas when they don’t show.” Derek, Co-Owner MidWest Trailers
What the Numbers Actually Mean
The GPS ROI Calculator math is based on real fleet industry data. We used the conservative end of the range because we think small businesses are running leaner than big enterprises. What you actually save depends on where you’re starting from. Got drivers who run tight routes and a maintenance program that doesn’t live in on a whiteboard or in a spiral notebook? Your upside is smaller. Got trucks sitting in parking lots with the engine running? Are you located in a high-crime area? The GPS ROI Calculator is probably underselling it. Either way, at $16 a month per truck, the risk that GPS tracking won’t pay for itself and then some is pretty close to zero.
What Are Other Small Fleet Owners Saving?
Wondering what GPS tracking is actually worth to small businesses who have it? Once drivers know their routes and idle time are being watched, most small fleets cut their fuel spend by 10–15%. On a 10-truck fleet burning $400 a month per truck, that saves $5,000 to $7,500 every year. The price of Momentum GPS for 10 trucks is $1,920/year. That’s a no brainer.
Here’s something most GPS companies won’t tell you – the platform doesn’t save you a dime on its own. Visibility does. And visibility only matters if you act on it. That means setting a company policy, making sure your crew knows the rules, and following through when someone doesn’t follow them. The owners who see the biggest ROI are the ones who actually use the data to run their business differently.
FAQs for GPS Savings
Here are some answers to questions small business owners have about how much they can save with GPS tracking.
Contact UsHow much does GPS tracking save a small business each year?
Most small fleets recover their GPS tracking cost within 60–90 days on fuel savings alone. Fuel savings average 10–15% annually. A 10-truck fleet spending $400 per vehicle monthly on fuel saves $5,000–$7,500 per year. Labor, accident reduction, and theft recovery add to that. Momentum IoT starts at $16 per vehicle per month with no contracts or hardware fees.
Is GPS tracking worth it for a small business with fewer than 10 trucks?
Yes. For a 4-truck fleet, Momentum IoT costs $80 per month with no hardware fees or contracts. One prevented breakdown, one defended insurance claim, or catching one instance of unauthorized vehicle more than covers the cost. Image the ROI if one of those trucks is stolen. Plug-and-play installation takes under a minute with no IT support required.
How does GPS tracking reduce fuel costs for small fleets?
GPS tracking reduces fuel costs three ways: idling alerts stop engines from running unnecessarily, route history reveals inefficient patterns, and driver behavior monitoring reduces aggressive driving. The DOE estimates aggressive driving lowers fuel economy 10–40%. Most fleets see 10–15% fuel savings after implementing GPS tracking.
What is the difference between small business and enterprise GPS tracking?
The big GPS companies lock you into a 3-year contract, paying $100–$300 upfront for hardware, and then nickel-and-dime you with activation fees. Momentum is built for small fleets that don’t have time for that nonsense. One flat fee of $16/month per vehicle on an annual plan, or $20/month if you want to go month-to-month. No hardware costs. No hidden fees. Unlimited U.S.-based support included. Everything you need to run your fleet. None of the bloat.
