Fuel surcharge calculator

Compute fuel surcharge per mile and per trip. Compare two industry methods: stepped (broker-style where FSC adjusts in 5-cent steps) and mileage-based formula (more accurate for owner-ops).

Inputs

Current diesel ($/gal) Peg / base ($/gal) Avg MPG Trip miles (optional)

Stepped method tuning

Most broker contracts: every 5¢ above peg adds 1¢/mile.

Step increment ($/gal) FSC per step ($/mile)
