FUEL SURCHARGE
Med-X has standardised its fuel surcharge mechanism to provide a simple and transparent way of reflecting fuel price movements. The fuel surcharge may increase, decrease, or remain unchanged as fuel prices fluctuate.
How to calculate your fuel surcharge
To provide greater transparency into how we calculate the fuel surcharge, we have provided the formula which will be applied in calculating the surcharge:
Fuel Surcharge = (Current Fuel Price – Base Fuel Price) / Base Fuel Price x Business Unit’s Fuel Component Weighting
If the Current Fuel Price is less than the price for diesel at the Base Fuel Month, then the Fuel Surcharge will be calculated using the price for diesel at the Base Fuel Month.
Consistent with standard industry practice, Shred-X relies on third-party data to determine the Current Fuel Price. Accordingly, the Current Fuel Price is the TGP for diesel published by the AIP for the preceding month, as available immediately prior to the last business day of that month.
