Data-Driven Charter Estimates.
Most private jet pricing remains locked behind phone calls and sales teams. We built this calculator to give you instant, reliable estimates based on the same data brokers use internally — flight hours, category-specific rates, and real fee structures.
The calculator factors in cruise speed by aircraft category, adds overhead for taxi and climb phases, applies the current hourly rate range, and includes fixed fees for landing and FBO handling. The result is an all-in estimate that closely tracks actual charter quotes.
For a binding quote with specific aircraft tail number, operator safety rating, and exact availability, submit your route details through our contact form. We return a full comparison within 60 minutes.

Why Private Makes Sense

Calculator Built on Market Data
Our pricing engine uses aggregated 2026 charter market rates from thousands of actual bookings. Hourly rates, fixed fees, and speed profiles reflect current operator pricing — not outdated estimates.
Seven Aircraft Categories Compared
Turboprop, very light jet, light, midsize, super-midsize, heavy, and ultra-long range. Each category shows distinct hourly rates, speed profiles, and fixed fee structures. The calculator lets you compare all seven on a single route.
Distance-to-Cost Conversion
Enter distance in nautical miles or kilometers. The calculator converts to flight hours using category-specific cruise speeds, adds the overhead factor for taxi and climb, then applies the hourly rate range.
All-In Cost Breakdown
Every estimate includes: hourly aircraft rate, crew costs, fuel surcharges, landing fees, and FBO handling charges. The low-to-high range accounts for operator variation within each category.
Fuel Stop Detection
When your route exceeds an aircraft category's nonstop range, the calculator flags it and notes that a fuel stop may be required. This is critical for accurate cost planning on ultra-long routes.
Hourly Rate Explorer
Our side-by-side rate explorer lets you set a flight duration and instantly see total costs across all categories. Identify the crossover points where stepping up to a larger aircraft makes financial sense.
