Formula

Adjusted Total = (Original × (1 + Surcharge %)) - Discount

Applies a percentage increase for surcharges and then subtracts any flat dollar discounts or rebates.

Worked Example

A $10,000 order with a 5% fuel surcharge and a $200 bulk discount results in a $10,300 final total.

Finalizing Your Procurement Costs

In volatile markets, the "sticker price" of an order is rarely the final price paid.
  • Shipping surcharges are often calculated as a percentage of the total order value.
  • Volume discounts can be flat-rate OR percentage-based; use $ for flat rebates.
  • Always verify if surcharges include tax or if tax is added at the end.

Double check these adjustments before processing your payment.

You can also calculate changes using our Supplier Price Rise Calculator or Import Cost Impact Calculator.
