👨⚖️ How it works ?
The share of fuel in the overall cost of transport is very important.
As this cost fluctuates greatly, you can add a fuel indexation to your transport price.
You must of course agree the terms of this indexation with your client beforehand.
🧮 How to calculate the fuel indexation?
Make sure you have defined the above-mentioned reference parameters with your client.
Calculate your indexation / fuel surcharge by taking into account the following formula:
Explanation of the formula :
Initial month index = Index for the month in which the commercial/contractual relationship took place.
Invoicing month index = Index on the 1st of the billing month corresponding to the invoice.
Gas weighting for the initial month = Share of diesel in the transport cost, this diesel weighting represents the percentage of diesel in the cost. It can be established manually
