Use this logistics calculation for a transparent shipment, inventory, warehouse, customs, packaging, carrier, or service-level estimate when the governing units and business rules are explicit.

Shipper pay (USD)

Rate billed to the shipper in USD.

Carrier pay

Rate paid to the performing carrier in USD.

Alert threshold %

Discount percent beyond which the risk flag fires (heuristic).

Flag a large difference between shipper and carrier pay for manual review. A rate difference alone cannot establish double brokering and may reflect legitimate brokerage costs or services. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Risk flag

Whether the pay discount exceeds the alert threshold.

Discount %

Carrier discount below the shipper rate as a percent of the shipper rate.

• Carrier tariffs, customs rules, dangerous-goods requirements, hours-of-service rules, surcharges, port terms, dimensional divisors, and service definitions vary by jurisdiction, contract, date, mode, and commodity. A calculation is not a booking, classification, or compliance determination.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Verify current carrier and authority documents, retain shipment dimensions and timestamps, test boundary cases, and reconcile estimates against invoices and operational scans.
