Build the internal trip cost
Start with the calculated route and its internal cost components. Keep distance-based cost, tolls and any fixed trip charges on the cost side before you think about the sell price.
Logistics planning tool
Transport Quote Calculator
Transport Quote Calculator brings route cost components, tolls, surcharges and target margin into the same LogicCalc workspace as route, timing and transport economics. Review client-ready transport price and cost breakdown before quoting or dispatching.

How it works
How it works
Turn the economics of one calculated trip into a customer price without losing sight of the internal cost. Route cost, tolls and fixed trip charges stay visible before a target margin is applied.
Add the commercial adjustment
Apply the intended surcharge or target margin to the trip economics rather than guessing a round figure. The quote should make the gap between cost and client price explicit.
Review cost and sell price together
Check the proposed customer price against the underlying trip cost. A quote that looks attractive in isolation can still be weak if tolls, fixed charges or route changes have moved the cost base.
Typical use cases
What you can use Transport Quote Calculator for
Use the quote calculator when the route is already known and the decision is commercial: what should this specific transport be offered for?
Spot quotes
Prepare a spot price from the actual route calculation instead of starting from a generic €/km guess.
Margin control
Check whether the intended customer price still leaves enough room above the current internal trip cost.
PDF-ready pricing
Keep the price calculation attached to the route so it can later be copied into a quotation or report without rebuilding the economics in a spreadsheet.
Practical example
Practical example
Start from route costs, add tolls and other fixed charges, then apply the desired margin. LogicCalc keeps internal economics and the client price in the same route calculation.
Frequently asked questions
Transport Quote Calculator FAQ
Is the quoted price the same as internal cost?
No. Internal cost is the estimated cost of performing the trip; the client price is the commercial amount offered after the relevant additions and margin logic.
Which trip costs should be included before margin?
Use the cost items that actually belong to the trip: route-based operating cost, tolls and any relevant fixed or manual charges. Missing a material cost makes the margin look better than it really is.
How is this different from the truck cost-per-km calculator?
Cost per kilometre builds an internal unit-cost baseline for the truck. The quote calculator applies trip-specific distance, tolls and charges to a real route and turns that trip economics into a customer price.
Does the calculated price guarantee profit?
No. It is a planning result based on the inputs and settings available at calculation time. Unexpected waiting, rerouting, extra services or incorrect cost assumptions can change the final result.
What to verify before pricing
Before sending a price, verify that the route and all material cost inputs still match the job you are actually quoting.
- Recheck tolls, ferry or tunnel charges and manual surcharges when the route or vehicle changes.
- Confirm that waiting, special handling, parking, customs-related work or other job-specific costs are included where relevant.
- Treat target margin as a commercial planning setting, not as a guarantee of realised profit after the transport is completed.
