Enter the distance, rate, and quantity to transport to find out the freight per tonne, the freight per bag, and the total cost of the load.
Pre-sizing and estimating tool: the results do not replace a design, calculation, or report signed by a qualified professional, nor verification against the applicable standards.
How much it costs to transport each 60 kg bag at the tariff you entered; the dot marks your distance.
Total cost for the quantity entered with tariffs above and below yours; the highlighted bar is your tariff.
Drag the controls to simulate data different from what you entered (from 30% less to 30% more) and watch the result change instantly.
Freight per 60 kg bag for different distances and rates, with the entered rate varied 20% up and down.
The calculation done in steps, with the values you entered.
The calculation memo gathers this page's inputs, results, equations, assumptions, and references, with fields for project, responsible person, and review. The full report also includes the charts and interpretations, in color. In the print window, choose Save as PDF.
Enter the distance between origin and destination, the rate negotiated in R$ per tonne-kilometer, the quantity to transport, and the truck's net capacity. The calculator shows the freight per tonne and per bag, the total, and the number of trips.
500 km distance, R$ 0.18 per t·km tariff, 1,000 t, and 30 t trucks.
Freight per tonne = 500 × 0.18 = R$ 90.00. Per bag = 90 × 0.06 = R$ 5.40. Total = 90 × 1,000 = R$ 90,000, in 1,000 ÷ 30 = 34 trips (rounded up).
To compare freight with the price received, see the production cost calculator; for grading and delivery deductions, use the grain classification.
Multiply the rate by the distance to get R$ per tonne, and multiply the result by 0,06, because a bag weighs 60 kg.
It is the minimum value per axle and per kilometer set by the national freight floor policy for road cargo transport. Check the current table before negotiating.
Each trip has a fixed cost for loading, paperwork and tolls. Fewer trips with a fuller truck usually cut the total cost.
Not directly. The outbound rate usually absorbs the empty return. If the return trip carries a load, the rate may drop.
Important notice: the Agrocalcs tools make estimates and preliminary sizing based on the data entered and on published engineering methods.
