Work out courier delivery pricing instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
Courier pricing combines a base charge covering pickup and handling with a distance rate and a weight surcharge above a free allowance. The base charge is what makes short deliveries viable, since the fixed cost of a stop does not shrink with distance.
Distance charge
Distance charge = Distance x Rate per km
Weight surcharge
Surcharge = max(0, Weight - 2 kg) x 12 per kg
Price
Price = Base charge + Distance charge + Weight surcharge
Because every delivery consumes a pickup, a handling event and a drop regardless of distance. Pure per-km pricing loses money on short runs.
Chargeable weight based on parcel dimensions, used when a package is bulky but light. Most couriers charge the greater of actual and volumetric weight.
