For Brownian motion of a single particle subject to a tilted periodic potential on a ring, we propose a formula for experimentally determining the cumulant generating function of time-averaged current without measurements of current fluctuations. We first derive this formula phenomenologically on the basis of two key relations: a fluctuation relation associated with Onsager's principle of the least energy dissipation in a sufficiently local region and an additivity relation by which spatially inhomogeneous fluctuations can be properly considered. We then derive the formula without any phenomenological assumptions. We also demonstrate its practical advantage by numerical experiments.
