Overview
The Taxi Fare Calculator estimates Korean taxi fares based on the fare structure including base fare, distance fare (per meter surcharge), time fare (low-speed surcharge), and late-night surcharges. Compare estimated costs between standard and deluxe taxis across different cities.
Formula
Taxi Fare = Base Fare + Distance Fare + Time Fare + Surcharges Distance Fare: KRW 100 per 131m (Seoul, beyond base distance) Time Fare: KRW 100 per 30 seconds (when speed drops below 15 km/h) Late-night Surcharge: 20% added between 10 PM and 4 AM Example: Seoul standard taxi, 10 km ride → Base KRW 4,800 + Distance ~KRW 5,300 ≈ ~KRW 10,100

Tips
- ✔Late-night surcharges apply from 10 PM to 4 AM, adding 20% to the base fare, distance fare, and time fare.
- ✔Deluxe taxis have a higher base fare (~KRW 2,000 more) but no late-night surcharge, making them potentially cheaper during late hours.
- ✔Ride-hailing apps like Kakao Taxi may add a dispatch fee (KRW 1,000-3,000) on top of the metered fare.
- ✔Heavy traffic areas incur additional time-based charges, so actual fares may exceed estimates.
