Free London travel tool
TfL fare-cap calculator
Choose the furthest zone you expect to use. We’ll show the current daily and Monday-to-Sunday pay-as-you-go caps, plus the maximum to budget for.
This tool uses adult 2026 caps. It does not price individual journeys or replace TfL’s fare finder. Use the same Oyster card, contactless card, phone or watch throughout for capping to work.
How to use this TfL cap calculator
For Tube and rail travel, select the furthest zone you expect to reach. The result is a maximum, not a prediction: if you make fewer or cheaper journeys, you may pay less. For buses and trams, select the bus-only option.
The weekly amount is only relevant to travel made from Monday to Sunday with the same payment method. A stay from Wednesday to the following Tuesday crosses two capping weeks.
Important rules for getting the cap
- Use the same contactless card, phone, watch or Oyster card for every eligible journey.
- Touch in and out on rail services; touch in only on buses and trams.
- Keep cards separate on the reader: a phone and physical bank card are separate payment methods.
- Some premium services, including Heathrow Express, do not count towards normal caps.
