Static caravan running-cost calculator

Add up what owning a static caravan costs you: the pitch fee, bills, insurance, safety checks, other park charges, finance — and, if you like, the value it loses. See it as a yearly, monthly and per-night figure.

1 Running costs

Enter each one as a yearly or monthly amount — whichever matches your bills. Leave out anything that doesn’t apply.

Pitch feeFrom your park’s price list or latest invoice. For scale: Parkdean Resorts quotes £3,250–£12,495 a year for 2026, including VAT.

Gas, electricity and waterYour metered electricity, gas (piped or bottled LPG) and any water charges for a typical year — or a monthly average.

InsuranceYour premium. It’s a condition of your agreement. Parkdean gives about £335 a year as a typical premium through its broker (2026).

Safety checks and servicingGas and electrical checks and servicing. Parkdean, for example, charges £100 for the yearly gas test and £120 for the three-yearly electrical test (2026).

Other park chargesRates, water and sewerage recharges, winterising and anything else on the park’s bills. Parkdean’s rates, water and sewerage recharge is £340–£1,500 a year (2026).

Finance repaymentsLoan or finance payments, if you are paying for the caravan over time.

2 Value it loses (optional)

What the caravan cost (or is worth now)Used only for the value-loss line below. Leave it empty to ignore value loss.

Value it loses each yearYour own estimate, as a percentage of the price above. Holiday caravans lose value, but there’s no official yearly figure — so we don’t suggest one.

3 How much you use it (optional)

Nights a year you stay in itTo work out what each night costs you. Leave it empty to skip.

How it works

Enter your running costs. Use a monthly amount where that’s how you pay — we multiply it by 12.
If you want, add what the caravan cost and the share of that you expect it to lose each year. That’s your own estimate: we don’t assume one.
Add the nights you stay to see what each one costs you.

What this calculator does and doesn’t do

It adds up the figures you enter. It has no built-in prices: use the figures from your own park’s price list and your own bills.
“Value lost” is simply the percentage you choose of the price you enter. It is there so you can see the cost of owning the caravan, not just of running it.
It doesn’t take off any income from letting, and it doesn’t include the purchase price itself — only the value it loses.
The examples in the hints are operators’ own published 2026 figures (Parkdean Resorts: pitch fees, Parkdean Resorts: running costs). There are no official national averages.
For what to include, read the costs of owning a static caravan.
