This disclosure relates to methods and devices for estimating amount of washer fluid to be consumed in a reservoir of a vehicle. In an aspect, a method of a processing device (24, 28) of estimating amount of washer fluid (12) to be consumed in a reservoir (11) of a vehicle (10) is provided. The method comprises estimating (S101) at least one of remaining wash cycles that can be performed and remaining driving distance of the vehicle before the amount of washer fluid (12) has reached a predetermined lower amount of washer fluid (12) based on acquired information indicating current amount of washer fluid (12) remaining in the reservoir (11), temperature that the washer fluid is subjected to, and at least one known washer fluid consumption profile, and generating (S102) data representing said estimated at least one of remaining wash cycles and remaining driving distance.
