25/03/2026 – Rates – Cost Tariff Calculator method updated to use a percentage or base value

In this release, we have updated the Cost Tariff Calculator method to use a percentage or base value.

For example, if I have a Customer Rate, linked to a Cost Tariff with Method = Basic

For the Customer Rate amount, we sum the following columns from the Cost Tariff:

  • Flat/Min
  • Per Unit
  • Base
  • Max

To get our results

Let’s say we’re auto-rating an air job, with a chargeable weight of 10.00KG

We multiple the weight of 10.00KG * $30.00 per unit = $300.00
+ $30 (Base)

= $330.00
+10% uplift for the Calc on the Customer rate
=$330.00 + ($330.00 * 0.1) = $363.00

Total Charged for Airline Handling Fee $363.00

This update applies to the following methods:

  • Basic
  • Breakpoint
  • Kilograms
  • Minimum
  • One Off
  • Package Count
  • Per
  • Per Cargo Report
  • Per Master Bill
  • Zone

Methods that were already using the Calc & Base columns, are unchanged:

  • Entry
  • Invoice
  • Lines
  • Min/Volume
  • Percentage
