This calculator helps you determine the estimated cost of delivery based on the distance traveled. Delivery services often charge more for longer distances due to increased fuel consumption, driver time, and potential for delays. Understanding these rates can help businesses set fair pricing and customers budget for shipping costs.
The calculation typically involves a base fee, a per-mile or per-kilometer charge, and potentially surcharges for specific conditions like heavy items or urgent deliveries. This calculator simplifies the process by focusing on the distance-based component.
