The calculator creates a modeled base shipment cost from package and lane characteristics, then applies carrier-specific factors plus optional charges to estimate comparative cost scenarios across major couriers.
base modeled cost = fixed base + (weight factor) + (zone factor) + (distance factor)
carrier cost = base x carrier multiplier + fuel surcharge + options + declared-value charge
best carrier = minimum modeled carrier cost
potential savings = highest modeled carrier cost - best modeled carrier cost
