JiTiS TCO
Personal vehicle used to be the second largest family expense right after the expenses for the flat or house. Calculation of the vehicle running expenses is not easy, these are rather complicated due to fact, that it is not just the question of the fuel price. And even worse – it is different with every single car!
So how can I find out the future running expenses of my car for next several years?
What is the difference between Free of charge and Paid calculation?
Free of charge calculation is only for the basic review of the Total running expensives of the brand and model. It takes account of the age and driven mileage of the vehicle. It is adjusted for period of 2 years and 800 km per month. All adjustments are in their basic JiTiS values. It is expected that maintenance, reparations and parts replacement has been completed according to producers instructions and adjusted parts lifetime. So it does not take into consideration the real vehicle status, personal specifications of use and other parameters.
Paid calculation is for specific vehicle, vehicle owner, not just for general brand and model. It enables to change and modify the Personal parameters, especially the yearly mileage and calculated time of use. Prices adjustment, specification of the Technical parameters and add Real status of depreciation and completed maintenance and find out the real value of neglected care and strongly specify the three Years running expenses calculation. After payment, you can repeat calculation 10 times with many parameter changes within one month.
So one calculation for one car costs 6 €?
For chosen vehicle you can input or change parameters preset in JiTiS. After change and input of your own parameters the another calculation will be charged according to the price list. After payment, for a certain time you can change any parameters and adjustments, you can also change completed maintenance and repairs. Such calculation can be repeated 10 times. So you can better find out the value of the vehicle and based on discovered facts, for example declared maintenance or repairs, make your calculations more accurate. It does not matter if you are not familiar with machinery. We will lead you through the system of technical questions those are systematically targeted to various functional devices. We will show you what should be targeted, asked. So, you will find out huge difference on running expenses even comparing two vehicles of the same model. So you will find out what was neglected and how much will it cost in close future.
What parameters and adjustmens can I change in Paid version?
For specific vehicle in Free version we can change and adjust or change parameters and values preset in JiTiS. Another calculation with changes and your own specifications input will be charged according to the price list. your own parameters the another calculation will be charged according to the price list. After payment, for a certain time you can change any parameters and adjustments, you can also change completed maintenance and repairs.Such calculation can be repeated 10 times.
In personal adjustment you can modify
Yearly driven mileage – from 3.000km – 60.000km per year.
Summer and winter mileage can be input separately.
Drive style – sport, fast, obvious or economy.
Quality of the spare parts is of three different levels, separately for chassis and other vehicle parts.
One of three quality levels for tyres,
In section technical parameters we can change
Manual or the automatic gear box
Aircondition
Rim dimensions of summer and winter wheels.
Your vehicle consumpion – add your value instead of preset – JiTiS one.
The oil change interval
In section completed maintenance and repairs
Last maintenance and repairs in number of items
Wear out value of the chosen sections and parts by chosen items
In section Neglected care you can add
completed maintenance and repairs.
In section Prices adjustment you can change
Price for the Fuel
Price of the Service work
Engine oil
Actual vehicle price
In section Other adjustment can be changed
Vehicle Insurance
Highway stickers
Garage and Parking spot fees
Road tax
Other obligatory taxes
Car wash fees
Other secondary expenses.
Why should I pay for the Certificate when selling the car?
JiTiS certificate of the vehicle running expenses.
Certificate completes the vehicle sales offer – it contains the basic information regarding the Future running expenses. These are expressed in one digital value – value of the Total running expenses. This is beyond he selling price the most important point of interest for every potential vehicle buyer.
The total running expenses include expenses of the Neglected care are based on dozen of parameters and all informations regarding the vehicle stratus, fuel economy, maintenance expenses etc. as described in JiTiS definition.
Seller is only to insert the informations regarding the maintenance and repairs status, together with the level of wear out of single chosen devices. The other parameters are set for Certificates the same way. This guarantees comparability of any vehicles regardles the age, mileage, brand or model.
Well set and processed informations regarding the vehicle, especially maintenance and repairs,serves well for comparison of the future running expenses of other vehicles. Herewith, seller advices the way of maintenance and it´s status. In Certificate, there is clearly specified the vehicle maintenance and repairs so the buyer can check these during the car inspection.
Since the Certificate is calculated and issued it is impossible to change it . Calculation is memorized in the JiTiS system and can be found out and verified on the web sites www.jitis.cz. This double check is free of charge. New potentional buyer can add his personal adjustment and preferences into adopted Certificate and let recalculate.the Running expenses especially for him. You will not need any assistance, you will manage this yourself.
How do you know what does the Neglected care on chosen car cost? What does it express?
Neglected care on chosen car is everything that was to be completed according to the age of the car and driven kilometers and that was not done and marked in item – list maintenance and repair. Total of these items is the final price for neglected care.At the same time, this is presented in % of the vehicle value. Note! The value of neglectzed care is not calculated in the future total expenses!
So we suppose, that if the car maintenance and repairs are not confirmed, this was not done and it will be necessary to complete it. Important is also the status of residual lifetime if this is set. Very important is also the status of depreciation – it should not be undervalued. Then the car repair is planned after the lifetime period is gone and such become the part of the future total expenses.
Neglected care is the answer to the most frequent question and order in a service yard after used car is purchased and service yard is asked for service check and the information what has to be repaired right now so the car will run with no problems. Then the new owner is badly surprised what else has to be paid in addition.
Is it rather difficult to be familiar with it?
Not at all. jiTiS will guide you through the input of all important items those can but need not to be filled in. You can obtain many important informations regarding future expensives based on set vehicle brand and type, driven kilometers and car price – already in the Free calculation. It is up to you if you will be intereted in more detailed informations.
When buying a second hand car It is up to you, again, how many informations you will find out and input into JiTiS . We will recommend you what to ask and what should be focused, will warn you about possible problems. Then it is up to you how much will you believe the sellers informations.
Try it . Most of the items offer support and with just one payment you can change your calculation 10 times
Will you advice me what car shoudl I buy and not to be tricked?
Every second hand car purchase is buying a pig in a poke. Our JiTiS system will help you to open that poke and let you look at it. It is only up to you how many informations you will grab, double check and let recalculate in JiTiS system. With JiTiS, you will not forget anything important.
We will not choose the car instead of you but we will enable comparison of the cars you do enjoy. We will bring you closer comparisom of the future expenses for next three years for every single car.
Frequent question : should buy the diesel or petrol version? In fact, this is a question how much will I pay per single driven kilometer in comparison with both versions. And we will calculate this for you. You will see the differences in future expenses for three years so you can decide this yourself.

Anyway, there are considerable differences in running exepneses even comparing two identical cars, the same brand and type, same price with the only difference of odometer status and just one year of the age. On higher mileage car might be already completed larger repairs while the another ona is still to run through the service care.. Both cars also might have the same engine but different version, so the service interval for the timimg belt replacement would be different atc. We will calculate all this for you.

What is the definition of the spare parts qualityfor chosen car? Why and how to choose ?
Spare parts quality have the influence to the spare parts price and so it have also impact to the running expenses. Obviously new cars are serviced using original spare parts or first quality spare parts, for old used cars there are another, cheaper alternatives. Guess you will agree with this. But what is it during obviuos car life-time? There is number of parameters and the car owner priorities – to extend the life-time of the car or to save money.
JiTiS calculate and assign qualitative group of spare parts that corresponds to the chosen vehicle, vehicle category, age, driven kilometers, price, single units .. JiTiS chooses spare parts according to the actual vehicle value so the parts would not be overpriced but still of good quality.
Choice of the parts quality has also influence to the planned number of kilometers, drive style, ratio of the season use – summer / winter for the tires and other parameters.
In the basic Free calculation the JiTiS calculates and appoints the qualitative groups and according to this the expenses for repairs are calculated, too.
For Certified calculation of the future running expenses the calculation and assign of the parts quality can not be changed. Certificate is determined for possible vehicle buyer, his priorities are unknown in advance.
What are the differences between spare parts quality?
There is a large range of the spare parts of various quality level available on the market. These are different – from top original quality up to non quality ones from the scrabyard.
In JiTiS system we work with three quality levels – Q1, Q2 and Q3 – separately for the parts of chassis and the steering – the “safety parts” , then tires and the others. Q1 is the top quality that corresponds to the original parts and equal ones. Q2 is the medium quality and price, Q3 is the cheaper alternative. All the parts must be confirmed according to relevant standards. Price differences are up to dozen percents.
JiTiS choses parts only from authorized supliers. Parts with unknown origin, non confirmed, non guarantied or parts from scrabyards are not used in the JiTiS calculations.
How do you calculate single calculations values?
Application reads necessary technical datas from producers databases and spare parts supliers. JiTiS refills these datas of single components depreciation value according to the time and driven kilometers. Specific region datas, price level, local regulations and taxes, spare parts producers and distributors preferences and number of other parameters are also taken into consideration.
Then all datas are avaluated and using applied mathematics calculates and presumes the future running expenses. The additional vehicle informations set by customer are also taken into consideration.
Fuel expenses ( patrol, diesel oil, LPG … )
Impact to the fuel expenses have – value of the fuel economy, the engine displacement, engine output, vehicle age, size and weight, drive style, future driven mileage, traffic statistics of other vehicles, actual fuel price and other datas..
Tires expenses
Impact to the tires expenses have – tires dimensions, value of depreciation, actual market price, future driven kilometers, size and weight of the vehicle, depreciation per driven kilometer, drive style, tires quality, summer and winter traffic and other parameters.
Service expenses – price for the service work
Service expenses are quated according to various brands and models time standards, price per service hour for single brands. Influence have also the price for model, age of the car, service yard quality and regional price.
Service expenses – price for the spare parts
Service expenses are also quated based on knowledge of necessary spare parts, databases of supliers and producers, spare parts prices on the market and single price and quality categories. Influence have also the parts depreciation, future driven kilometers, parts replacement schedule, quality request, assigning parts price to the time value of the vehicle.
Price for the vehicle depreciation ( difference between new and the residual vehicle value )
This is deduced from the actual vehicle price, the age and driven mileage, vehicle status when bought – depreciation of important vehicle components, future driven mileage and future depreciation of important vehicle components.
Neglected care calculation
Neglected care is calculated based on known informations ( set by owner, service yard or seller ) – components status, completed repairs, parts replacements and completed maintenance. Affected is also esceeded parts life time. So are calculated the future running expenses to get paid in addition.
Price for the third party insurance – insurance for the vehicle use
Calculation is completed based on the market insurance offer depending on the vehicle brand and model. Affected are also users datas, bonuses.
Expenses calculation is refilled by graph with the expenses imaging. Displayed is the total time period, monthly expenses for planned period and expenses for one driven kilometer.
How should I undserstand calculated values and graphs set by single user?
In JiTiS Certificate and in JiTiS expenses Study 36Pay there are displayed and also in written form presented single informations columns and graphs. All these prices are presented incl. the local V.A.T. How should I undarstand this and what can I discover?
Left headword
contains Unique alphanumeric QR calculation code . Applying this code you can continue and work with the calculation whenever.
Then, there is the date of calculation and Range and time for the future expenses calculation – for example 800km x 36 months.
Table study
It contains the list of set parameters as set in the first step – in the Free version
In addition also calculated Basic total TCO values
total expense for set time period and driven ( planned ) milkeage
total value of neglected care
recalculated expenses for the future month and driven kilometer
Table others
It contains the set vehicle technical datas recapitulation
The JiTiS 36 Pay calculation is refilled and offers the list of parameters and informations to add – such as the individually set fuel economy, preference of the spare parts quality, prices adjustment, way of use and others.
Tables and graphs of the total expenses
These contain the Total future running expenses according to various subtrims
Table and calendary expenses Graph
It contains the List of expenses per single quarters of the year and kilometer status for period of calculation. First item is for the non completed time period – always since the date of setting till the end of first calculated quarter, the last on is for the rest of the days in the lats quarter of the year.
From displayed values the expensiveness per single seasons can be seen, especially the larger investments for expected repairs.
Table of Amortization
Amortization is integral to the running and ownership expenses. It is calculated based on the set entry vehicle value and calculated theoretical vehicle value at the end of the time period. Calculation have many parameters and it is defined by JiTiS algorithm.
Table of Neglected care
Here is the list of the vehicle maintenance and repairs those had to be already completed and those are not recorded in the passed maintenance and repairs. In fact, the total value is the dept to the maintenance. This is not calculated in the future expenses !
Take special care of this list cause this could have an impact to non expected expenses in volume ut to all debt value.
Table of the previous maintenance and repairs – the most important list for a buyer
This table displays everything that have been ever fixed on car or depreciation staus of chosen parts and components. Informations are presented according to odometer status:
What the single items mean:
title, kilometers in thousands
operation completed in kilometers status, part has been replaced by the new one
title, kilometers status and 100% status
the part has been replaced at presented mileage by the new one
title, kilometers status and status in %
the part has been evaluated at presented mileage, checked and the open balance lifetime has been measured in %
title and kilometers status with the date of protocol in % issue
Parts or component measured or estimated open balance lifetime in % by the date protocol issue
It is necessary to verify all the informations regarding previous maintenance. It is necessary to check these and make sure that these are not fake and can be supported with repair orders, repair invoices, evidence in a service booklet, protokols, measuring,testing..
% of the life time open balance could completely change the parts replacement calculation!
Table of the future expenses
Displayed is – the List of the estimated dates of the maintenance and repairs of the car. Repairs and maintenance are arranged according to the price for repair, always is presented the kilometers status and the quarter recommended for operation. Price is always the totalof the price for the spare parts, work and the local V.A.T.
Several items repeat appears if the service operation in the calculated period is done more times. Also parts price depreciation can appear – in case that the lower quality parts ( lower Q parts category ) are used for the older car and calculated time period.
Item tires – here, there can appear the purchase and mounting value for the new tires / even just for one axle – according to the vaue of depreciation or only the price for the tires replacement – that means summer / winter tires replacement
How should I write in previous maintenance and repairs?
Informations regarding previous maintenance contain :
Completed maintenance operations
Completed repairs and specific parts and components replacements
Specific parts and components depreciation levels
Completed maintenance can be entered down in section
Values adjustment – previous maintenance and repairs
Neglected maintenance and repairs
This can be entered down eather separately or in combination :
Date
Kilometer status
% life time open balance
It is possible to enter only one data or also combination
Single Date – that means the date when operation has been done or part has been replaced.
From the kilometers run curve is calculated the kilometers status and new 100% partt is assigned.
Independent odometer status – means the status of completed operation by kilometers status
From the kilometers run curve is calculated the date and new 100% part is assigned.
Independent open balance values in %
To depreciation status present date and kilometer status is assigned
or
date and open balance life time value in % – kilometers from the kilometers curve are calculated .
That means that the depreciation value was established in history / for example when changing the tires
kilometer status and open balance life time value in % – the date from the run curve will be added
That means that the depreciation value was established in history / for example when changing the tires
or
– date, kilometer status and open balance value in % – all datas will be entered
That means that in that date was driven number of kilometers and depreciation status was %
Beware of errors when entering :
– the previous maintenance date can not be in the future
– kilometers status must not be bigger than the status entered today
– kilometers status and dates must correspond to reality, must not be gaining
– life time open balance must not be bigger than 100%
– kilometers run between the operations must not exceed 10.000km / month ( the same is valid if re-counted for km / day )
Beware of fake datas!
All datas regarding previous maintenance are presented in the certificate and the calculation. It is necessary to check well and verify if the datas are real – marked in the maintenance documents, invoices, service booklets, lůist of the spare parts, declared open balance life time, testings…
– % of the open balance life time can completely change the calculation for the parts replacements !
How should I guess the tires open balance life time?
First of all we have to separate the tires for summer and winter. Summer tire must have according to the law pattern depth at least 1,6mm, winter tires 4,0 mm. If it is less than mentioned the tires are gone and must be replaced. Very often there are control spots on the tire surface announcing the tire life time limit specially of 1,6 and 4,0 mm.
So it is necessary to check and measure the depth of the pattern so we can find out the mass of tire to run.
Simple estimate – we can say that 1 mm of the tire pattern is of 15 % of the life time. Of course, it depends on the tire dimensions, the drive style, summer or winter run.. But there is no need toi be afraid of errors
JiTiS system will calculate this according to its internal algorithm.
In order to make it easier the life time open balance of complete tires set is to be entered into the system although, in fact, the worse tire status would be better. In service application and permanent care it will be possible to enter the life time open balance for every single tire – in milimeters of the left pattern.
In case, that the open balance life time of the tire is not entered, JiTiS system calculates automatically with 50%status. We are working on system calculating the all season tires.
How sholud I enter the open balance life time of the disc brakes or the brake pads?
Here, there we can enter the qualified estimate or the thickness of the brake disc and the brake pads have to be measured. Your service yards will do that easily.
Every brake disc has its minimum thickness in milimeters described by producer. This is the limit, when the disc must be replaced. Difference between thickness of the new disck and the minimum limit ( it used to be 2 – 4 mm ) we can find out the open balance life time of the disc in %. Example – difference of 3 mm and depreciation of 2 mm the open balance life time is still 35%.
It is valid also for the brake pads.
Do not forget, that the brake parts must be replaced at the same time, both sides on the axle, so it is necessary to enter the status of the worst part.
How should I enter or check the status of depreciation of the chosen parts?
Depreciation status is to be find out and measured – checking the brake discs, testing the shock absorbers. It is also necessary to evaluate chassis clearance, bearing status …
Wherever it is impossible the professional evaluation is necessary. The last date of the part replacement can be also entered with the date and kilometer status so you can avoid the depreciation in % entering. JiTiS will calculate the life time according to its internal adjustment.
Why there are two sets of rims to enter – summer and winter sets ?
Expenses for tires are rather important part to the future expenses. Tires or sets of tires must be changed twice per year. JiTiS calculates if there are two sets of wheels for simple change or if the service yard has to change the tires on the rims. Then it will be much more expensive – paying for disassembly, assembly and balancing – especially expensive with larger tires dimensions. And this is exactly what JiTiS will calculate for you.
Part of the tires expenses are also expenses for the used tires removal. In case of new tires assembly also the rims replacement.
JiTiS also differentiates the tire depreciation on driven and pulled axle or the 4 x 4 vehicle version so there could be different depreciation and different timing for operation on various axles.
