Carriers and brokers often quote a base transportation charge plus a fuel surcharge tied to diesel or jet fuel indices, or a negotiated percentage. This calculator implements the common pattern where fuel is a percent of a defined charge base (linehaul plus contract-defined fuelable fees), then added to produce the pre-tax transport total.
fuelable subtotal = base freight + additional fuelable charges
fuel surcharge $ = fuelable subtotal × (fuel % ÷ 100)
total transport = fuelable subtotal + fuel surcharge $
Give procurement and operations a quick way to sanity-check FSC on quotes and invoices.
